Find Time to Write That Book!

Time Management for the Creative Person

Want to know the secret of finding more time in your life to write books? Only you hold that secret. You can read all of the time management books in the world or attend a dozen time management seminars, but it all boils down to you.

You control how you spend your time. Only you can find the time, or continue to say “but I’m too busy!” If you want to write a book, or books, then you have the power to make it possible. No one can do it for you; each of us has to take responsibility for our own time. Time is the only thing that we all have the same of; rich or poor, famous or not, we all have 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

The first thing you need to understand is that as a creative person, you are different from everyone else. You pile things instead of filing them, you procrastinate, and you daydream. But those are good things, and once you learn how a creative person works, it will be easier to “free the creative side of you that has been locked away for years.”

Let me leave you with one final book recommendation. A few years ago I discovered a book titled Time Management for the Creative Person. It is subtitled “Right-Brain Strategies for Stopping Procrastination, Getting Control of the Clock and Calendar, and Freeing Up Your Time & Your Life. It is written by Lee Silber, and published by Three Rivers Press. I strongly advise you to order a copy from Amazon, call your library, or visit the bookstore. This book will change your life, and it will allow you to find time to write the books you have inside of you!
