Remove Distractions
I have heard this time and time again, mostly from female freelance writers, “It’s impossible for me to work unless the house is clean.” I understand and agree…sort of. With pets, spouses, children and whatever else going on in your home, it’s almost impossible to guarantee that your home will be spotless every time you tap on a keyboard. Instead, be sure to keep your work area neat. If you have an office, close the door and don’t let the tracked in mud, unfolded laundry and limescale distract you.
You can always clean when you are done writing–but if you let the cleaning distract you while you write, you’ll have a hard time getting anything done.
