Hey all! Thanks for being here!


Today I’m reaching out to you in a different way (and guess what! It’s still for advice 😂)

What do you guys think about the idea of a schedule/those who have done it? What’s your experience with it?

Just to clarify, I’m not talking about an update schedule (because I can’t stick to those, no matter how hard I try), but more like scheduling my time out towards writing/time to respond to comments/time to spend on discord. I thought that maybe if I’m more regular writing and stick to specific days for certain books, hours for discord, etc... Maybe that would keep my motivation up, and I won’t misplace it on something else.

As you know (if you follow my Instagram), I attempted to resign from my job on Saturday, which went terribly, and I was talked into staying. I want to be able to hold myself accountable on my off days that I wanted to use to pursue writing (but I find myself kind of losing momentum instead) so that one day I can feel comfortable enough to leave my job to write full time.

What are your experiences with schedules? Do you work better without them? Do you become more productive with them? Any advice or tips?

In My experience with working from home due to covid, I found very quickly that the line between home and work life blurred. I had to completely separate the two and stick to start and finish times and use a different space for work so that I could switch off at the end of the day. I also found getting up, getting dressed, having breakfast etc (like I would pre covid) helped to get me into work mode and motivated for the day. So schedules really help me and it’s also nice to have a finish up time so you don’t have to feel guilty and can fully relax and enjoy some r & r ☺️

I find schedules and routine help my mentality and productivity throughout the day. I HATE scheduling- I can't do it properly and I think it's time-wasting, and most likely won't stick to it. But keeping a routine keeps my mood and morale up so I consider myself productive and stay motivated. Hence I do checklists of things I want to get done for the day but won't put it in time-slots. I will also add a few extra "to-do's" that don't necessarily need to be finished that day so if I don't finish them all, it doesn't make me feel bad. Doing little things in the mornings like making my bed or cleansing+hydrating my skin also make me feel calm and set the mood for the day! It's kind of trial and error but once you find something that clears your mind and helps you get the right attitude, it's worth it ☺️ Hope this helped! 💜

I agree with that fully! That blurred line is SO hard to avoid! I still work outside of home, but I do see writing as a really rewarding and fun “second job” so I do the same thing, I end up cleaning or organizing something or taking my daughter to play with my babysitter’s kids, or sled after her homeschool work, or literally ANYTHING but what I WANT to do. (For myself, at least.) (Because I also have this strong sense of parental guilt if I set aside any time for myself, haha) but between my partner giving me a room for writing and setting a time to be home by - or to leave by (so I don’t spend all day taking my daughter here and there) it may help me a bit!

I love that you used the word, “routine.” I would LOVE to have a steady routine that I can fall into and avoid the scheduling process, I just love the idea of doing something so often and with so much structure and accountability that it becomes my, “routine.” If I could make it into a feeling of routine for my art and writing I would feel so much more??? I guess rewarded by the time spent in it. Starting your day right is a big yes! I usually wake up (on my days off) and start my coffee, wash my face, and watch an art vlogger with my daughter. I find that so motivational! Thanks so much! It sure did! 🥰🥰🥰 I appreciate you!
