Procrastination

January 14, 2010

Once again I put off writing an article to the last minute. There always seems to be more time in the future than right now. What am I going to do about it?

Ways I can improve:

  • Plan - Decided in advance what I’m going to write about each week.
  • Research - Whatever it is, I’ll need to read or think about it.
  • Notes - Write down my thoughts before they float away into the void.
  • Outline - Layout each heading.
  • Time - Schedule a time to sit down and write without interruptions or distractions.

I’m sure something else will thwart my plans to complete these task. For now, I just need to get on track and be more deliberate about writing.

    Ahhh. I’m having the same problem, and as a result, I’ve turned out two posts that have been almost entirely fluff.

    Sounds like you’ve got a solid plan in place, and just need to stick to it. Best of luck.
