Patti,

Thanks for the tip! This makes total sense. I see now that if I give myself unended time, it takes me much longer time to write a post, bc I find other things to do while I'm writing the post. I esp. love Twitter. Not that it's not important to network, it's just not what I need to be doing at the same time as writing! Thanks for an excellent post!

Thanks for all the great comments. I personally have to thank Jonathan for his great post on using a timer. It works great when I remember to use it. Persistence will pay off and it will become habit.

Thanks again,

Patti

I just found this blog today while looking through some twitter lists ~ this is a great topic. People think I'm crazy (including my husband) that I keep a timer on my desk. But it totally helps!! I have 3 hours a day of peace and quiet (while the little one is at school) so I have to make the most out of it. A timer seriously helps me do this. I mean the whole point of being a blogger is to have free time to spend with my kid, right? So anything that helps me get that done is a good thing in my book!

Setting and following time schedules works, especially when there’s some writing to be done. I think the information presented will be useful to many people a lot.

I agree with both Patti and Sharon; setting and following time schedules works, especially when there's some writing to be done. I find when I don't give myself a time limit, a project that takes an hour lasts three times longer because I end up doing a lot of things not related to the work. The extra free time will be highly appreciated…

Wow…couldn't have said it better…work does indeed fill the time available. I have found that I get a lot more done when I actually schedule in time to write, comment, blog, and do the things I want to get done. For me, scheduling is the only way to go–I have to keep my business running plus keep my family happy and the magic potion is all in the scheduling!

cheers!
