Question #1: What will make me happier in the year ahead?
Being productive! Idleness seems to add to more idleness.
Gaining focus! My brain can be like a cat on caffeine, bouncing from one thought to another, many times unrelated. It's amazing how when I think I'm about to put my mind toward a creative task, how many ideas pop into my head that need to "researched". Many times, these ideas are in no way related to the original project. Ancestry.com, I talking to you!
Question #2: And how can I start making that happen?
I had to think about this one for a while. As in overnight. Otherwise, as I see it, I wouldn't need to address the question in the first place.
I must begin to spend 15 minutes each day writing. Be it here, or on any of the other 3 blogs, or on any of the fictional projects. This will address the idleness.
As for staying focused, certainly I can stay focused for 15 minutes. If not, there's a larger issue. Bit by bit the goal is to go beyond the 15 minutes, stretching into 30 minutes, into 1 hour.
Each page, regardless of what is being written, should start off with an outline, however brief it may be. This will also keep me focused, as potentially anything that needs to be "researched" will be done before I set the 15-minute clock.
I like it! And I really believe this will work!
