I like to divide my creative life into four domains: creativity, marketing, developing relationships, and thinking.
Usually, in a given week, my percentages look like this:
Create: 10%
Marketing: 30%
Relationships: 5%
Thinking: 55%
(Unfortunately, by Marketing, I am including Twitter, and Thinking I am referring to thinking about doing i.e. procrastinating).
But, in November, I am going all in on creating:
Create: 90%
Marketing: 5% (maintain my daily blog posting)
Relationships: 0%
Thinking: 5% (podcast listening)
The purpose of this approach is to go all in on completing one of my writing projects.
It should be fun, and—if it works out— I might use this as an every-other-month template.
