I hope you're having a wonderful holiday
season. It's Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in
our home!
As the new year (quickly!) approaches, have you
thought about your goals for 2010? Here are my top
five questions to ask yourself as you do your planning:
Here are the
six rules of every organized
writer....
1.
Work with Yourself, Not Against Yourself Understand your
personality and what works for you. Do what feels
right and what appeals to you—not what seems to “be
organized.”
2.
Focus and Pay Attention When possible, do one
thing at a time. Do not let your mind wander. Picture the
goal in your mind, and focus on it.
3.
Invest Your Time Pay attention to how
you spend your time. Saving just 20 minutes each day gives
you an extra 120 hours each year. Strive to improve the time
it takes to complete a project. Be willing to invest a block
of time if it will save you hours of frustration later.
4.
Create Habits You can create a new
habit (or lose a bad habit!) in 21 days.
For only three weeks of effort, you can create a lifetime of
good habits.
5.
Use the Right Tools Make sure you have
the right tools handy when you need them.
6.
Work Forward Organize for your
work ahead. Don't organize what's already finished.
You want to save time by going forward not just reorganize
what you already have.

I've been in love with it ever since. It is, if you'll pardon the unwriterly cliche, the best
thing since sliced bread!
