I agree with everything except Number 5, LOL! If I verbally or otherwise tell anyone what I’m planning to do, it becomes a self-defeating, self-fulfiling prophecy that I won’t do it! I do use all the others though! Just sitting down and writing is the hardest, yet most efficient method for me!

“Just Do It!” Is fun & invigorating to say, but you are right we tend to create distractions that cause us less Anxiety! I have also started a blog, yet recently changed the tag line because I decided to go with my heart, not with just providing useful information. I want to write & touch people where it matters. I strive to do it brilliantly. I know to stop obesssssing over the out come & just DO IT. I will think of you when I start again. I plan to use your Tip #6 often… Thanks for Sharing! I wish you much Success! xo

Thanks for the reminder.

Sometimes I get so focused in updating my blog about writing that I forget to do some work on what I’m passionate about, in other words the writing that means something to me.

With that said, I would argue that ANY writing is good, and a worthwhile activity.
