Do You Have A Writing Schedule?

Being self employed as a writer can be an incredibly rewarding career. However, when you're the boss the schedule is flexible and virtually non-existent and for some people that lack of structure leads to a low production work day. If you're the type that needs a strict schedule to stick to the task at hand then consider typing one up and printing it off to hang in your work space.

Be realistic about it though. Allow reasonable amounts of time for each task and include time for breaks. Working yourself too hard without a break will just reduce the quality of your work. If you're sitting at a desk all day make sure to get up once an hour and walk around for 5 minutes. It'll keep the blood flowing in your legs and give your eyes a break from the screen.

Print out a copy and stick it to the top of your desk or stuff it in your laptop case. Of course it will only help if you can stick to it. Falling off the schedule can harm your deadlines and set you back. This is another reason why it's recommended to never take on more work than you can handle. Commitment to your schedule will help you as a writer to keep a steady pace and work under daily deadlines as well as increase your daily earning potential.
