How can you maintain your energy during a big writing project? So, let me begin by talking about sleep: Human beings fall into three categories: night owls, morning larks and “third birds” — the people who are somewhere in between.

He was nine-years old and I hadn’t been able to teach him to read, despite his obvious intelligence and huge vocabulary. We spent several years knocking our heads against brick walls before an educational psychologist finally diagnosed him. Then, we spent

The value of ‘touching’ your projects every day….

Many people in the Get It Done group are working on one major document — a book, a thesis or a dissertation. But others in the group need to juggle several smaller pieces of work at a time. (It’s mostly academics who fit into this category.) If you’re a multiple project person, today’s post will

How to create better boundaries

A member of the Get It Done group recently asked me how she could create better boundaries around the open-ended aspects of her writing work. By “open-ended” she was referring to issues like: How long she should work each day Whether she should end at a proscribed time How she could identify the next steps

When procrastination might HELP you….

I’m not typically a big believer in procrastination. Instead, I tend to admire such aphorisms as: You may delay but time will not. (Ben Franklin) Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him. (Charles Dickens) Eat that frog! (Brian Tracy) But there are two exceptions to my “get things done now” tendencies. Both reflect times
