Let's protect that writing time.

TIPS

Write with someone else also writing. Less likely to waste time when writing with someone else

Use tools to help you find time to write when you are ready to knock out your daily word count goal.

Use visual planners

Pick a task tracker calendar

Asana

Google Calendar

Timer-based tools

Pomodoro timers

Tomato-timer.com

Focus To-Do free app

Make the call

Have a standing time with yourself each day that you cannot miss, barring an emergency.

Don't over-commit in your social life because you're optimistic about your ability to write quickly.

Reclaim your time

This challenge requires focus. No one is going to fault you socially for choosing to remain focused in order to reach your writing goal.

Chunk it down

Break up writing times into multiple shorter writing stints. Unless you ramp up your cadence you're going to need to allocate enough hours to your writing goal to hit your target goal.
