I keep up with my blogs by peeking in at work. Of course things would probably need to change if I ever get put on a deadline! :)DL Hammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007260062331783715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-84237481645447799042010-06-24T06:38:30.626-04:002010-06-24T06:38:30.626-04:00For me, scheduling writing time has been virtually...For me, scheduling writing time has been virtually impossible. My husband works swing shift and so my quiet time is limited. I wish I could be productive while there is a lot of commotion around me but so far, no. Right now I work when I can but would like a consistent schedule. Have you found any consistency?<br />M.J.M. J.

Sure I'll have planning, new curriculum, research to do, but it'll be on my schedule. I do have kids too, but they're older so that helps!Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-71779677791267878792010-06-21T16:35:02.473-04:002010-06-21T16:35:02.473-04:00I don't work outside of the home but I still h...I don't work outside of the home but I still have a problem with organization.

I try and bunch up my appointments or if I can't I take my handy writer's bag and write in between appointments. I always write Tuesday mornings - which has been in place for ten years. I often can write on Monday's too (like today). I find that some things go phoooey, like the toilets and shopping and um...my finances but hey - I feel good. I have two step-kids half the time and I also help out once a week with my grand-kids so...oh and chickens and a dog and a man and a garden. You know what's really suffered lately - my accordion practice.

I write in spurts - ten minutes here, fifteen minutes there - but if I really want to knock out a large section, I have to write it on my to-do list.L.

As a teacher, I was lucky enough to be a little bit more on schedule with my kids, but they all had/have extracurricular things that demand my attention. Wrtiting has always been shoved into whatever nook or cranny could be found.<br /><br />Organization helps, but flexibility is key I think. Organization always breaks downs on a pretty regular interval.sarahjayne smythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589820347348973092noreply@blogger.com
