Do you know about Laura Vanderkam? She's a time management expert and bestselling author. Laura argues that when people says, “I don’t have the time,” they really mean something else entirely.
I’ll tell you what she says they really mean in
a moment, but first I want to tell you about a survey I ran after I launched Writer’s Craft Academy six months ago.
In the survey, I asked people who didn’t join the Academy WHY they didn’t join.
I was shocked by the most common response.
Can you guess what it was?
“I don’t have the time.”
It really surprised me, but it
shouldn’t have.
People are busy these days.
Perhaps busier than ever before in human history.
I get it.
I do!
I have three daughters under the age of 7, a full-time job as a policy analyst for the Canadian federal government, a career as an author and ghostwriter, as well as a career as a writing coach.
I know busy. But, to be honest, I’m glad to be busy.
And I'm glad to hear you're busy too.
I'm glad because it means you don’t have a second to waste.
It means you understand just how precious time is.
It means you understand how focused and intentional you need to be
about how you use your time and energy.
And guess what?
You aren't alone. Trouble finding the time to write is one of the most common challenges aspiring authors face.
That’s why I created an hour-long training video called, “How to Find the Time to Write (Even if You Have a Full-time Job)”, as well as a 25 minute training video called, “How
to Create a Regular Writing Habit You’ll Actually Stick With.”
These two training videos are filled with time-management tips and productivity hacks for busy writers balancing day jobs, families, and other responsibilities. (Writers just like you.) In these videos, I reveal:
- How to use time-management techniques to immediately increase your daily word count.
- The systems and templates that’ll allow you to carve out time for writing even if
your schedule is currently booked solid.
- The very best productivity tools for authors, writers, and bloggers.
- The secret trick bestselling authors use to find the time to write each day.
- How to increase productivity within your sessions.
- The importance of something I call “N.N.W.T.”
- And much more!
After watching these videos, you’ll have the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure you use your time in a truly productive
manner.
We all have the same number of hours in
the day.
It’s how you use those hours that matters.
Oh, that thing Laura Vanderkam says about, “I don’t have the time.”
Laura says it REALLY means, “It’s not a priority for me.”
