I try to manage my day by my circadian rhythms because the creativity is such an elusive thing, and I could easily just stomp over it doing my administrative stuff.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I try to manage my time to conserve energy.
I have realized sometimes I do better working under a crazy schedule. It gives me less time to overthink things and forces me to be present.
When I'm in the midst of finishing a book, I can be working around the clock.
I am a workaholic, and I sometimes wish that there were 48 hours in a day. But I know how to manipulate my time beneficially.
Keep a Day Timer so you know where you are supposed to be and when. Whether this system is in a tangible, printed version or on your mobile device, by having a Day Timer, you can stay organized throughout the day.
What I do is not some magical, mystical thing. I simply get up in the morning, get to work on time, say my lines, and do the best I can.
Discover the times when you're most creative - mornings, nights, afternoons - and clear the time to work then. Many writers find the mornings are best, and the afternoons are only good for editorial corrections, or getting the washing done. Others can only work through the night, drunk.
I think about my work every minute of the day.
I'm a very restless person. I'm always doing something. The creative process never stops.
I am putting every effort toward creating my works from morning till night on every single day.
