Episode notes
Hit Deadlines With A Page Plan
- Make and meet deadlines; distinguishing yourself often comes down to simply delivering on time.
- Use a calendar and break projects into daily page targets, scheduling in expected procrastination days.
Write Mornings, Finish Your Quota
- Write intensely when on deadline and protect morning hours since pre-noon writing is your best work.
- Finish your daily page quota even if it means writing later that day to avoid piling work up.
Cycle Intensive Work With Sabbath Rest
- Taking seasons of rest between intensive writing periods is both sustainable and spiritually aligned with Sabbath rhythms.
- Rest refreshes creativity and makes long-term productivity healthier than constant daily output.
