A thousand words before lunch. Well, before noon, anyway; I had leftover homemade pizza around eleven this morning.
This is a Good Start to a Good Day. Even if it all goes downhill from here, I have a thousand new words.
I worked one fifteen-minute set, then went directly into another timed quarter-hour because I didn’t want to lose my train of thought. The I took a break to put a load of laundry in, worked through the third official timed quarter-hour, and kept going when it ended to finish up the section. Fifteen minute blocks are easy. Ten minutes is too short, a half-hour is too long, but fifteen minutes… Why didn’t I start doing this ages ago?
Because ages ago, you didn’t need to, and now you do. I’m very glad to hear it’s working so well for you. I often do housework in 15 minute chunks for a similar reason :)
You’re right, of course. I used to be able to work in three-hour bursts. Now I can’t, what with the fibro fog and fatigue issue, so figuring this little trick out has helped me a lot.
I can’t sit and write for more than 15 at a stretch because of the Princelings. Glad it’s working out.
