Time Wasters

Beware the time waster oh writer! There are things that can get you off-track and keep you from focusing on what is most important–your writing. Here are some that you’ll want to watch out for:

• E-mail. Don’t check it all the time. Schedule it and it won’t suck your time.
• Phone. If you are working, turn your phone off if possible. You can always return calls later on.
• Social networking. This is great for business but you have to watch the amount of time you allot.
• Forums. Try and spend time here in the evenings or when you are “off work”.
• TV. Don’t turn it on. Seriously.
