Hello John,

I stumbled on your article that although as written long ago (in internet terms 😉 ) still rings true. Time management was important then and is important now. Spending time on the most important things remains a struggle for me. But it’s getting better all the time!

Fantastic post John! I totally agree with you that time management is absolutely crucial for a writer. It’s so true that you should only concentrate on one thing, because then you are faster and can achieve higher quality overall, which is the most important thing.

How many hours per day do you knuckle down and just write?
Thanks again! Awesome post!

Time management one of the important lesson to learn for writers. With proper time management we can easily accomplish our goals, I can tell it confidently as i have experienced it . Use your time in a way where you can manage all your works and can also get enough time to get relaxed. In this busy life people mostly ignore about their health, family and friends and run behind their work.

Not a very good way of living. As a writer it is very important that we have a calm and resourceful mind. The above article gave me some great ideas with which may be i am gonna make sure success.

Nice and inspirational post . thank you for sharing such a good post.

I’m currently working on 5 and 8. I try to do one thing at a time. I don’t do anything else until I finish the task. I do it not just with writing, but also in other areas of my life (watching TV series, playing video games). Right now I’m playing a game called Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Even though there are so many games that I want to get my hands on, I’m committing to finishing it first. I hope that this level of focus will rub off on my writing and everything else I do.
