Time Management Tips For Writers

1. Keep away the Distracting Elements

• In todays lifestyle, finding some alone time has
  become a task. Writing needs concentration and
  focus so that the chain of thoughts is not
  broken. But when you have multiple roles in life
  to play then this is damn difficult to obtain.
  Imagine in the middle of the thought chain your
  phone rings or Instagram notification pops up,
  then your thought process is hindered and it may
  be further interrupted if you start reading the
  msg or start talking over the phone.
• Thanks to the digital medium these disturbances
  are present around us in abundance. We are
  swimming in the ocean of updates, notifications,
  reminders, etc. most of the time. So, in such a
  case when you are writing then put your gadgets
  on mute mode or at bay so that you can write
  uninterrupted. By doing so you can easily sprung
  up your productivity in both quality and quantity
  of the content.

2. Be Practical in Approach and set Goals

• Every writer wants to write down his/her book in
  one go if he/she can, but in reality that is not
  possible. We as humans have a complex living
  pattern. Being social animals our work is only
  one area of life which we enjoy doing. There are
  so many other roles and responsibilities which
  need to be done in life. So, another time
  management tip for writers is to set goals
  that/she can fulfill with other aspects of life.
• You cannot sit for 8 12 hours a day for writing
  like other jobs, instead set small intervals for
  writing at fixed hours like early morning or
  afternoon or evening or nights, depending on
  ones schedule. As a writer, we need to learn
  things around us to gain and understand human
  behavior, skills, discoveries, inventions, new
  technologies, etc. So that we can easily
  incorporate them in writing if required.

3. Practice Daily and Choose your Priorities

• Time management tips for writers are incomplete
  without this point because if you are too
  carefree and inconsistent about writing then the
  writing skills quality suffers a lot. As writing
  is an expression of thoughts (Fiction/Nonfiction)
  daily practice depending on individual schedule
  is a must.
• If you want your work to touch millions of lives
  then it should also show that and this can be
  achieved if the writing skills are perfect. To
  achieve precision and accuracy in your writing
  skills you need to keep updating your skill with
  writing every day for 15 min / 30 mins once a day
  or twice a day.

4. First Draft Is Never The Final Book

• This is the reality that every author/writer is
  aware of that the first written draft of the book
  is not the final draft. Infact many times authors
  themselves edit their work repeatedly or get it
  edited by the copy editor before sending it to
  the publisher for publishing. So one should write
  whenever you are having time on hand rather than
  thinking about it because anyways the draft of
  the book will undergo editing and the author can
  easily correct or rearrange things accordingly.
• This time management tip for writers may seem
  insignificant but sometimes a random thought and
  idea, changes the whole outlook of the story. So,
  rather than thinking of a fixed storyline and
  hours to write down its best to pen down the idea
  then and there. Any emission and addition in the
  text is a part of the editing process.

Time management tips for writing a book includes

• Stick to your style but innovate Its difficult
  for an author to suddenly change his writing
  style overnight just because the market has the
  buzz about a certain thing. But at times they do
  surrender to the commercial need also, instead of
  doing that, its better if the author keeps
  innovating his own style to bring new elements of
  surprise. This will keep the target audience
  always interested in the upcoming work.
• Set your goal this tip is useful as it helps the
  author to finish the work in a given timeframe.
  This especially works when the idea of the book
  proposal has been approved.
• Keep learning new aspects in writing as writing
  is a medium of communication and expression for
  humans. But with changing times and coming of age
  technologies one needs to be updated about the
  new formats which are being introduced in the
  world of writing.
• Read as much as possible this is a big myth that
  writers do not read, in fact every good and
  extraordinary writer has been avid readers.
  Reading allows you to gather knowledge and facts
  about the world around us or sometimes the
  non-existing space of fiction books, which is
  required by every author despite the fact that he
  doesnt write in the same genre. There are no two
  ways about the fact that if you read more you can
  write well.
