Did you know that the average person spends just 47 seconds before switching from looking at one screen/window on their computer to looking at another? Or that it takes 25 minutes to regain focus after an interruption? Staying focused in the best of times is a brutal task. Staying focused when life gets crazy is that much harder.
In this episode we'll talk about five strategies for finding focus that all happen before you sit down to write.
Ezra Klein, "Beyond the 'Matrix' Theory of the Mind,"
Gloria Mark, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity

My team and I help writers get their writing done. If you're stuck, it's not a knowledge problem. It's not a skill issue. And it's not a motivation or willpower thing. You know what you need to do and how to do it. The problem is consistent execution: getting the writing done week in and week out.
With the 12 Week Year for Writers system, you'll create a routine that helps you write more, and more happily, than ever before.
Thanks for listening!
