My List
In honor of time management, I made a list of things I’d like to accomplish.
Finish editing “Butterfly”
Write “X”
Go through bookmarks - I have entirely too many writing sites bookmarked
Finish the links page on my website
Finish NaNoNovel
Set up documents for conversion to PDFs
Scan one edited page for example on blog post
Write a short for Glimmertrain
Now, if we take out the non-writing focused ones…
Finish editing “Butterfly”
Write “X”
Finish NaNoNovel
Write a short for Glimmertrain
See how east that was? Now I organize in order of priority
1.) Finish editing “Butterfly”
2.) Write a short for Glimmertrain
3.) Write “X”
4.) Finish NaNoNovel
Given Butterfly has the greatest amount of work needed and will grant me the biggest rewards for finishing it, it’s only natural it goes in first place even though a short for Glimmertain is due sooner.
I further split this up into tier one and tier two, because the 1 and 2 combined are infinitely more important than 3 and 4.
Here is how my current works stand:
Butterfly - I put aside my other story and wrote something completely different. I needs some major editing, though.
2,720/3,000-5,000
X
2,688/80,000
NaNo
31,984/50,00
So I’ve made some progress, but I need to get working harder.
Of course, time management is almost never that easy, but it is a matter of giving some things priority that you know have priority, even if you’d rather they didn’t.
Good luck and fair weather for all your writing.
