Perhaps in the future try setting yourself a schedule. It could be daily, hourly, weekly etc. Whatever works best for you. I have found this to be extremely helpful when I have a lot to get done - which is ALL the time (:<br /><br />Nicole - I'm glad you've had success with the timer! I need to remember to use it more often though. I forget easily. <br /><br />tfwalsh - Yes, it happens. And it's hard to turn everything off. It's advice I've heard and read all the time, but rarely follow (maybe because I'm crazy.) But I've been doing it more frequently lately, and it's been quite productive. Try it and let me know how it goes!<br /><br /><br />Thank you everyone for responding! Hope you are all having a wonderful day!

I gave myself a blog sabbatical this week and for the first time in months my health has allowed me to catch up with all sorts of non bloggy things. It's been great. I love blogging and I will try to find a balance to suit all my needs in future :O)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794223537404450174.post-6770340740217571062011-05-08T11:54:38.527-04:002011-05-08T11:54:38.527-04:00This post is fantastic, and so true.

And, as you mentioned, you can feel so overwhelmed, procrastination takes over and then nothing is accomplished.<br /><br />Because we do have so much to do, just as writers, any forward progress is progress :)Carolyn Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14848484073538930315noreply@blogger.com
