Is there ever enough time in the day?
I constantly have to learn and relearn how to schedule my time. I don’t know anyone around me who is efficent that I could model myself after. I try setting up a schedule, but it all crashes after a few week.s
I have chosen to drop the bother. I’ve given myself a list of things to do. If I’m not doing one, I pick from the list of other things to do and do that. Of course, I make sure there is time to do nothing or doing things that I enjoy, as much as I do work.
I don’t want to curse myself, but I am in a comfortable position now. I have regular work, and I can be flexible about what I pick to do next. I can choose what I want to do, so I’m doing fun and easy stuff. Of course fiction, but I’m working with doing fillers for magazines, etc. The short stuff is fun, I like it and if I could make a living doing short stuff (outside of novels) I’d do it. I think it is my short attention span, but I don’t read many feature articles, I don’t pick up that many magazines. I breeze through, reading the short fun stuff, skipping the major articles unless there is something specific in there. So I thought I ought not try so hard at writing them. Why bother? The short stuff is fine by me. I’d be more proud of it.
Cool beans.
