Your project is too big. Now what?
You’re not lazy…
You don’t have a willpower problem.
You have a strategy problem.
You wait for the big block of time. It doesn’t come. Or it comes, and you finally sit down, and nothing happens, so you decide the problem must be you and resolve to try harder next week.
I’ve coached writers for 25 years. The problem is almost never the person. It’s the strategy.
Small daily writing beats marathon sessions. Five minutes counts. So does 10. Writing every day keeps the thread of your project alive in a way that a heroic Saturday session never can.
Is your project too big?
Join me for one hour on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 1 pm Pacific/4 pm Eastern. Free! With plenty of time for questions. Can’t make it live? Sign up anyway. I’ll send the recording afterward, and it stays up for five days.
What my free one-hour class will cover:
I’ll walk you through the rules I use with dissertation writers and book authors who have stalled. You’ll leave with:
- The daily window that works better than the weekend binge, and how short it can be before it stops working.
- Why writing and editing belong at different times of day, and what happens to your speed once you pull them apart.
- A way to cut a long writing project into pieces small enough to start on tonight.
- Time for your own questions. Bring the project that’s stuck.
I’m Daphne Gray-Grant. I worked as a journalist before I started coaching, and I’ve written two books on writing, including Your Happy First Draft. Some 15,000 writers read my newsletter every Tuesday.
