OK, now that I know how I want it to be, WHEN will I do my writing. Sometimes it is a sudden impulse, a flash of an idea at any time of day or night and I grab the nearest bit of paper and start scrawling. But if I'm to make a habit, then when? What time of day.
Morning's are busy; I'm eager to check and respond to email and, if I'm not coaching first thing, to get on with my latest website project. Afternoon's are gentler, but often there are coaching clients, esepcially straight after lunch. Evening clients tend to start at about 6. That leads me to conclude that late afternoon would be a great time to settle down to some writing. Let's say 4 o'clock, or thereabouts.
Great, that feels exciting (and doable). I'll work on the finer detail shortly, but now, if I'm looking at 'time', how long should the sessions be? My instinct says, 'keep it short' so I'm going to commit to 15 minutes a day, Monday to Thurs to start with. And I'll think about weekends in a bit.
