It’s that time again. I’ve got to curb my TV watching so that I can get other things done. At least, I need to curb it during the week. I don’t smoke. I don’t do drugs. And I don’t drink to excess. But… I watch a heck of a lot of TV. It keeps me…
I’m getting close to the final stretch of my 365 blog posts. I only need 37 more posts to reach it. There have been some stumbles. Some dry patches. But I’m still going. It’s more like a marathon than I realized. You start off full of energy and hopeful. As you get further along you…
You know what drives me crazy? Getting good ideas when I’m doing something else that requires my attention. Like driving to work, for instance. I get lots of great ideas while driving to work. But it’s hard to jot down those ideas for later when I must concentrate on the cars around me. And the…
I spent a good amount of time reading plays this week. I’m on a play reading committee. And our first meeting was today, so I needed to have some plays to recommend. I read more plays this week, than I’ve read in the last couple of years. That’s crazy! I should be reading more plays.…
I submitted a play to the Hamilton Fringe Playwriting Contest. I didn’t expect to win. And I didn’t. I didn’t even place in the top three. Who knows? Out of 54 entries, mine might have come in at 54… I didn’t expect to win. I didn’t expect to place. Why did I submit a play…
I don’t usually use “chunking” as a productivity process. Chunking is when you batch up similar types of work and dedicate time to do them. For example, I could “chunk” writing blog posts. I could spend a couple of hours on a Saturday or Sunday. And write a bunch of blog posts. In fact, I…
The last couple of months have been stumbles for me. In terms of blog posting. November was bad enough. I only did about half the posts that I should have. And December was worse! I thought I’d catch up on my posting since most of my commitments were finishing up at the beginning of the…
Can we do it all? All the things we want to do? All the things we want to try? No. Obviously. There’s not enough time in the day. But… We can do more than we settle for. This December has not been productive for me. I’ve been slacking off with my blog posting. I’ve got…
It’s hard to believe that we’re a third of the way through the month already. And I’m falling behind in my routines. Blogging. Running. Writing. What’s happening? November was busy. But I had a routine to keep me focused. I worked on my lines. I worked on my music. The beginning of December marked the…
I was intending to submit something to the Hamilton Fringe Playwriting Contest. I had missed the deadline, but it got extended a week. I found an older project that had fizzled out, but I thought I could submit it with a little tweaking. You’d think I would have taken full advantage of the extra time…
