5 Startling Productivity Secrets for Serious Scribes

from Writing the Wrong Way with Jonathan Ball, PhD Hosted by Writing the Wrong Way with Jonathan Ball, PhD

If you want to create great art, you have to sit down at your desk and push all thoughts of that goal from your mind. Instead of the hoped-for product of your work, you need to focus on the work itself: on your process. Over the years, I have struggled to carve and keep the space for writing in my life, when massive workloads during my PhD studies and the post-PhD work-world threatened to destroy me. Now, as I struggle to take care of two young children (aged four and two), while working both as a teacher and a writer, I have had to further develop and refine my systems. This week’s podcast focuses on the sometimes surprising things I have learned about being a productive writer over the years. I share my Top 5 Tips: 1. Pick One Priority 2. Don’t Multitask, Doubletask 3. Batch Your Baking 4. Just Quit 5. Start Right Now Show notes available at www.jonathanball.com/18
