1. Stop making excuses. You’re better than that!
2. Know that you’re not going to enjoy your go-to “procrastination activity.” The guilt is real.
3. Write something you’re excited about for five minutes. Then do the less exciting thing.
4. Remember how awesome it feels when the writing’s done.
5. Promise yourself a fun (read: tasty) reward for completing your task.
6. Unplug the TV.
7. Disconnect the internet.
8. Throw your phone into a fire.
9. Barricade yourself inside your home.
10. Soundproof your walls.
11. Literally glue your butt to a chair.
12. Just … write.

Brilliant advice Meg! I always appreciate reading everything you share and I especially LOVED #8 because I typically dread talking on the phone!! I hope you had a lovely weekend and thank you again for sharing fabulous advice!!!
You’re welcome as always!
I like number 8 but I don’t have the heart to follow through on it.
Or the $$ to replace it when you need it again ;) ;)
