Great tips, these days I struggle with procrastination as a novelist, and need to force myself to finish the book I'm working through. This way I can get back to work on more exciting projects.
Thanks Colleen. This inisghtful post is right up there with your tips to fight procrastination (which I have shared with my students over the years). I had to laugh when you mention "worst. mistake. ever," because I've certainly been there--not with twitter, but with other distractions that allowed to sabotage my momentum.
This post was encouraging to me just now. I've hit a rough spot (again) in life, and had some plans I thought were sailing along well get rolled over by a truck. Now I quickly have to make totally new plans for what will hopefully be a temporary state.
But the consistent focus and consistent action approach helped me settle down in my head. So, thanks very much for your observations and experiences.
