So, I’ve spent two weeks going through my weekly schedule and I’ve discovered a few things-
- I’m far more productive when I’m working.
- I can get A LOT of writing done in my downtime at work.
- Apparently you can remotely use Scrivener on a device that doesn’t have it?!?! (Going to try it next week)
- I’m lazy when I’m not working.
- I actually really like my job.
So here’s what I’m thinking for my improved schedule-
Monday– Edit Powerful, blog, crit on Scribophile
Tuesday– Laundry, edit Powerful
Wednesday– Work, write A Fairy’s Tale in free time
Thursday– Blog, Edit Powerful
Friday– Work, write A Fairy’s Tale
Changes:
- Days I work, I’m going to dedicate to writing A Fairy’s Tale
- Days I don’t work, I’m going to dedicate to editing Powerful
Pretty much everything else is the same. Right now, I’ve got a few small side projects that I’m working on for fun, so I’ve put my novels to the side very temporarily while I finish these short stories. It should only take another week or so to finish those, then I’ll be back to my regular stuff.
Let’s see how this week goes!

That's awesome! I used to have a job with a lot of downtime and got loads of writing done. Now, my work's online and pays by the job, so no downtime–but traveling is a lot easier, so that's a plus! 🙂
It's amazing what you can do in a lot of short bursts. I've never had a job with downtime though. 🙁
