I love talking about planning and figuring out goals. :-D I'm going to start teaching my class again in late January, Going the Distance: Time and Project Management for Writers. So much fun getting things planned out in a way that works for you. :-D Congrats on all the books you've put out since we last saw each other! Happy New Year!! :-DKitty Bucholtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16372033109959440355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-49764946910754750912023-01-04T17:28:52.317-08:002023-01-04T17:28:52.317-08:00Wow!

The way I plan will differ, depending on the goal. For my triathlon training, a spreadsheet is a must, complete with goals and a trendline. For my writing, I don't like to be that hardlined. Whereas for racing, I need to hit specific goals on a certain day or risk either pulling out of a race or getting injured, my writing has a bit more flexibility to the timing. I find it much less stressful to write with a general goal ( one scene per day) than create a demanding timeline. Happy New Year! And good luck with your goals for 2023!Miffie Seidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17636176229500076338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-34221014549210497692023-01-04T15:11:05.633-08:002023-01-04T15:11:05.633-08:00Thank you!

I'm trying to plan more this year, but I've also found when I OVER plan it gives me anxiety, so I have to find a good middle ground. I've made my goals for what I want to do this year and the order of importance of getting them done and that tends to help me. I'm horrible at using planners or calendars. I procrastinate by making them all pretty and then never use them!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16025434952407075227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268238247379169028.post-41335057577747764242023-01-04T12:47:31.914-08:002023-01-04T12:47:31.914-08:00Sounds like you've got a great system!
