So how do you handle the inevitable interruptions? What if you get to 8am and you haven’t finished the blog and have 100 exciting ideas running round your head, all of which will get forgotten if you don’t write them down now?

You are my hero!! Your tip #1 is so right-on. I try to write my posts ahead of time…but it rarely ever happens because I get distracted (see #2 and #3). I’d love to have a week where all of my posts, guest posts and columns were written ahead of time, rather than the night before (or the hour before) it’s scheduled to post. You have inspired me to start scheduling blocks of time into my week to get my writing done!

We have a TV, but I do everything in my power to not look it in the eye…I purposely had no cable outlet ran to my home office when we built our house so I could just close the door and shut out the temptation of watching the tube. I agree with many of the other replies…tv is the worlds worst time-suck. Thanks for the post…enjoyed it.

I’m a scheduler. My blog is written between 7:30 and 8:00 am. I start work at 9 am. Break at noon. Write until 3. Work on marketing or other blog work until 5.

If I didn’t, I’d be a mess.

Really wish I could multi-task. I find it completely impossibly. I only have a one track mind. LOL!

I’m envious. But I’ll put some of your tips to good use. Thanks very much!
