These are all great advice. It is really hard to write something when you try to beat the deadline. Thank you
All of these are great tips. I very much enjoyed reading this. I work a lot, until my writing makes me money, but I carve out at least an hour every day that I have off and aim for at least a half hour each week.
This post is so incredibly helpful! Thank you so much ❤️.
I love the Pomodoro technique. Works wonders when I have a tight deadline!
Good advice - but not as easily accomplished if one happens to have young children.
Looking at suggestion #5. I regret to inform you that at the top of that paragraph you used "your." Did you not mean, "you're?"
Good eye! You are correct, and I have fixed that typo.
