If you want to create great art, you have to sit down at your desk and push all thoughts of that goal from your mind. Instead of the hoped-for product of your work, you need to focus on the work itself: on your process.

Over the years, I have struggled to carve and keep the space for writing in my life, when massive workloads during my PhD studies and the post-PhD work-world threatened to destroy me. Now, as I struggle to take care of two young children (aged four and two), while working both as a teacher and a writer, I have had to further develop and refine my systems.

This week’s podcast focuses on the sometimes surprising things I have learned about being a productive writer over the years. I share my Top 5 Tips:

1. Pick One Priority
2. Don’t Multitask, Doubletask
3. Batch Your Baking
4. Just Quit
5. Start Right Now
