Time to Pull up Your Positivity Pants!

Today was a hard day!

It seemed like everything was going wrong until I realised I was looking at the day wrongly!

It’s all too easy to just carry on with day to day chores and routines without actually looking at the whole picture. When I know I have several things to do I procrastinate over it and waste so much time. If I actually got on and got things done I would be done quicker to then get to the stuff I actually want to do!

After a day of appointments, I never had time to get some of my writing done for my manuscript. I’ve been putting it off now for nearly 3 weeks because either I don’t have time today, I have a list of things to get done or I have washing and household chores to complete. There is always a list of house jobs waiting and you then get into the mindset that I never have time for me! It always seems like I make time for my partner, children and dog but do I actually make time for me? No! Never!

So today I took action and said I will!

I will get chores done first! I will make time for me!

I’ve booked a time slot to go to the local cafe to work on my manuscript! I won’t have the distractions and I won’t be there to ask when things need doing!

How do you fit time in?

Do you always put off doing what needs to be done?

Tell me your top tips for ‘Getting it Done!”

I have been writing my blog to get some experience and explore different genres to decide what style of writing I want to use before finishing my manuscript. View all posts by Madison Ward

I make a list and feel a sense of accomplishment when I get to cross something off. Most times my list runs over to the next day / week / month 😕

  That is the all time achievement! Have you ever completed and ticked off everything on a list? This is sounds very much like my life! I have many lists to refer to but I forget to use them!

Have you heard of NanoWrimo Madison? It runs in November, and you sign up and agree to write a certain amount of words over the course of the month / each day. I did it once and it is a great motivator as you can update your word count and be amongst other writers doing the same. Good luck with your cafe writing. I think a change of scenery will be great inspiration 🙂

  Yes actually I have! I don’t know much about it to be honest but I signed up for it yesterday. I have still to confirm my email as been having problems with it but yes! It looks really interesting yet scary! I’m looking forward to it! 🙂
