A Foolproof Time Management Technique to Get More Writing Done

Working from home is never easy because there are too many distractions and without deadlines, or a boss looming over you to make sure you’re working, it’s too easy to not work, or worse - to not even sit down and start.

But I found a simple time management technique that makes sure that no only do I sit down and get my writing done, but I get even more done.

It works like this -

When I used to have a full-time job, I had 8 hours a day to get my work done. And it didn’t matter how quickly I finished it each day, I still had to stay there for the full 8 hours. And so if I finished my work early, I’d use the rest of my time to get other jobs done like cleaning equipment, tidying up and organising files.

For a few years, I also worked as a domestic cleaner, cleaning other people’s homes and I used to charge for 4 hours of work. At first, when I took on a new house, it would take me the whole 4 hours to clean, but once I got familiar with each house, I’d find that I had 20 or 30 minutes to spare, so I’d use that time to do extra jobs like cleaning windows or scrubbing out bins.

And this same technique can be applied to working at home as a writer.

When I first started writing, I’d sit down to write with a plan of what I was going to be working on. Then I’d do my writing, stand up and think I was done for the day.

But then I realised that I used to get more work done at my previous jobs if I had a set time to work instead of a set agenda of tasks. 

So I applied this time-blocking technique to my writing and so instead of only planning what I was going to write, I’d plan how long I was going to write for, that way, once I got my writing done, I could do other tasks like clearing my inbox, responding to emails, website work, researching, or writing one more quick article (in only 15 minutes as per my fast article writing system).

So see if it works for you too. Instead of sitting down to write, time-block an amount of time to write every day, and then stick to it no matter what. And if you finish early, you can do other writing-related tasks that you’ve been putting off. Or you can sort through all your digital files or do a computer backup.

Or write an article in 15 minutes or less.

The Number One “Secret” to a More Profitable Blog

I’ve been working online as a writer for many years now and I know that having a profitable niche blog is just one of the many ways that a writer can earn money online, especially when it’s a popular blog with thousands of visitors. I know this because I’ve done it myself.

But it’s about more than just writing blog posts every day. You have to make sure that people want to visit your blog again and again. And the way to keep visitors coming, and to attract even more, is to have great content.

So what do I mean by great content?

We’ve all heard of the expression, “Content is King” because it’s the most important rule online. If people aren’t interested in the content on your blog, they won’t come back or sign up to know more.
And attracting visitors is the number one secret to having a profitable blog. 
And to make it even more profitable a blog needs killer content which means content that leaves the readers wanting more.

But how do you do this?

It all starts with 3 simple steps:

1. Choose a high-profit niche
2. Get your blog up and running
3. Fill it with compelling content


You see, it’s no good choosing a niche that doesn’t interest many people or that doesn’t have enough money-making opportunities. It’s also important to get your blog up and running quickly because time wasted on too much planning and thinking, is time wasted.

And then you need to spend time filling it with killer content that gets people coming back again and again.

And even if you find that you’re not making as much money as other bloggers, or you're only earning $100/month, you only need a few sites like this to be earning a significant income.

This is topic is too big to tell you everything here. But if you want to know more about what killer content is and how to use it, click the link below and watch the video to discover what you need to do next.

Using Wabi-Sabi To Write and Earn Money

 Wabi-Sabi is a Japanese expression meaning to appreciate imperfections and the character that ageing can bring to something,  such as a crack in a plate, a chipped cup, or wrinkles on skin.

In Western society there is an appetite for the perfect and the eternal. Yet it is better to have an appreciation of simple things, not elaborate things.

Wabi-Sabi is the beauty of the imperfect, the impermanent, the rustic, and the melancholy. It’s a respect for what is fragile, slightly broken, past, and modest.

And you can use Wabi-Sabi in your writing too, so that you don’t have to struggle to make your writing perfect, elaborate or eternal.

Just write what you can with the talent and the knowledge that you have up until now.

You can learn as you go along, as long as you just keep writing.

And the more you write, the more you can earn. That’s the first thing I learned about being a writer and I’ve never forgotten it. 

And if you have trouble coming up with ideas of what to write about, try my Goodbye Writer’s Block to go from no-idea to idea-overload. Plus you’ll find the inspiration and motivation to write more.

It’s so easy to do, so quick to implement, and you’ll never be short of an idea again.
