Working writers can’t afford to waste time. Therefore, if you have some important appointments you must attend to such as your dentist, yearly physical and so on, please make sure you take concrete steps not to waste time. Don’t just sit in the waiting room fuming if your doctor’s appointment ends up being fifteen or twenty minutes later than scheduled. Instead, find ways to write, read or plan for your writing that night or the next day.
Here are a few more tips to get even some writing done, especially if you have multiple appointments in a week:
• Take your pen and paper along with you when you are waiting for the doctor to call you into your appointment. That way, you can work on your writing while you are waiting. Sometimes there are delays when you get to your appointments. Take advantage of this time instead of feeling frustrated that you must wait.
• Leave at least a half an hour earlier for your appointment and write in your car for fifteen of those minutes. It’s not the most comfortable. But you can buy a lap desk and put it in the car as well as a blanket and pillow for additional comfort.
• Take some time after your appointment and go to the library and write for another thirty minutes or so. This will give you some additional time to write and just be before you get home and must get into your family routines.
• Schedule your appointments approximately an hour after work. Then you can stay at work or go to a library close to your appointment and write.
By taking these steps, you will manage both your appointments and still find time to write, regardless by finding small windows of time to write. This will give you even more of a chance to write additional hours every week, month and year.
By culling some of the nonessential things out of your life, you can make room to do some of the more important things, such as your writing. This is one important way to make more time to write. You will feel more in control of your writing career as a result.
To your Success!
