Staying on Track
I have been staying on track with my writing jobs and my 47 Days till I Turn 47 goals.
Yesterday I weighed in at 135 lbs. I lost 1.5 lbs this past week! I have been writing for Jan’s Group Home Help regularly in preparation for the launch.
I have been turning in articles on time! The jobs have been coming in at a steady pace again
Getting started is the hard part when I’m not really motivated to write. The following has helped me to stay on task and finish article commitments on time:
I put up a blank page with the title of the article and save it. I find 2-3 sources for research and put them up in one window on different tabs. I glance through the information. I write the intro and a few key points I want to include and save it.
I then do something around the house, with the kids, or online that I enjoy for a specific amount of time. I return and find it easier to continue. For some reason I’m often unmotivated to do the last 100 words or so and repeat the above break, usually for a shorter time.
