What Not To Do Wednesday on Wasting Time

by

How many times must I tell you, grasshopper? You’ll never get anything done if you continue to watch Youtube and read emails . A study was done, tabulating the amount of time we spend on email, which roughly came to 18 hours, 37 minutes, or 67% of our day, minus time for eating Cheez-its. Though, frankly, I can eat Cheez-its and read email simultaneously. I’m gifted that way.

I can eat Cheez-its and watch Youtube, too. In fact, I’m getting crumbs all over myself right now, watching From the Typewriter to the Bookstore: A Publishing story. You shouldn’t be fooling around, watching this video, if you ever want to get published. But the video is from Macmillan…

So go ahead and watch, grasshopper. But stay away from that inbox. And put away those Cheez-its.

Who knew there was such a thing as right and left brain writing? Good old Cathy C. Hall, that’s who. Wham! just like that it came to me. So, I wrote up that article and pitched it to WOW!’s editors, who thought it was a timely article for the January issue. Which just happens to be all about time management. Now, who can’t use tips on time management? Especially when making those first of the year goals or resolutions.

Check out “Making Time for Right and Left Brain Writing” if you’re one of those writers who’s constantly trying to find a way to tackle their fiction and non-fiction writing. But check out the entire January issue of WOW! here for tips on saving time, making time, meeting deadlines, and all things time-related.

Seriously, this is one timely issue. And here’s a timely writing tip for you: The editors at WOW! often use writers who subscribe to Premium Green, WOW!’s market newsletter. Who knew?

Me, that’s who! (And now you do, too.)
