188: How to Manage Time When It’s Hard to Do

You can manage time even if it’s hard to do. Yes, you heard it right, it’s really hard to do, but you can! Let’s dive into this episode and grab some tips on how to manage time as a writer that you can implement this week.

Time… you don’t have enough of it and it goes too fast.

But in simple terms, we all have 24 hours in one day. We can all make those excuses and we can all give up.

I’d love to talk about time management and productivity. The best time management tips I will share with you come from our coworking events inside my Plan, Produce, Profit course. Inside that event, we hold each other accountable for completing tasks. Sometimes it’s pitching. Other times, it’s writing.
