Write the Darn Book Already

How to finally make time.

You know writing a book can catapult your career. It could be the key to unlocking a world of opportunities, from TV appearances to speaking engagements and a flood of new clients. If your competitors can find the time to write one, why can't you?

Feeling overwhelmed by the idea? You're not alone. Many aspiring authors struggle to find the time. But fear not! With a bit of strategy and a whole lot of determination, you can turn your book dream into a reality. Here are six ways to make it easier.

Getting Clear on Your Book's Purpose and Creating an Outline

Before you dive into writing, take some time to get clear on the purpose of your book. What message do you want to convey? Who is your target audience? Creating a detailed outline can help you stay focused and make the writing process more manageable.

Set Clear Goals and Prioritize

Start by setting clear goals for your writing project. How many words or pages do you want to write each day or week? By having a specific target, you can better prioritize your time and ensure that writing doesn't get pushed aside.

Create a Writing Schedule

Treat your writing time like the hottest ticket in town! Block off dedicated time in your calendar for writing, and stick to it as much as possible. Whether it's early in the morning, late at night, or during your lunch break, find a time that works for you and make it non-negotiable.

Eliminate Distractions

Identify the things that distract you during your writing time and give them the boot! Turn off notifications on your phone, find a quiet place to write, and get in the zone. Your book deserves your undivided attention!

Use Technology to Your Advantage

Get tech-savvy and let your creativity flow! Tools like speech-to-text software can help you write faster by allowing you to dictate your thoughts instead of typing them out. Plus, project management tools can keep you organized and track your progress like a pro.

Embrace Small Increments of Time

Who says you need hours of uninterrupted time to write a book? Use small increments of time throughout your day to write. Whether it's 15 minutes while you're waiting for a meeting to start or 30 minutes before bed, every little bit counts.

Don’t just take my word for it. Take Tannya, for example. As a toddler mom and stylist with a bustling schedule, you would think she had no time to write. But Tannya made it happen! She woke up early every day, set aside an hour to write, and voilà! In just 6 weeks, she had her first draft. Talk about a style statement!

Imagine my excitement when I received this message from her after only 6 weeks: "🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 1st draft will be done by next Saturday // Feels like a huge accomplishment, last time I couldn't even finish one full chapter in a month 🤣 I was writing little pieces here and there of multiple chapters."

By implementing these strategies and finding what works best for you, you can make writing a book a manageable and enjoyable goal, even with a busy schedule.
