You’ve decided to step out of the energy suck of both wanting and not wanting something, and shift into prioritization. Listen into how one of the writers I coach figured out how to prioritize time for writing and sending pitches.

Today’s episode continues where we left off last week, looking at the distinction between desire and commitment. You’ve decided to step out of the energy suck of both wanting and not wanting something, and shift into prioritization.

Listen into how one of the writers I coach figured out how to prioritize time for writing and sending pitches. The actions themselves seem simple, but only after first clearing up the flawed thinking and emotional resistance she had about making it a priority.

When you embrace the power of priority in your writing life, it will seem like your time and self management start to shape shift.

BTW, after I recorded this episode this same writer sent out a pitch and had it assigned within a couple of days, at a higher rate than she normally earns.
