: Re: Time management for part-time writing I'm currently writing a book, and would eventually hope to be a writer as a career. However, at the moment I'm struggling to find the time and the discipline

Everyone needs time to relax. Sometimes life is so busy that we don't take the time to relax and we get burned out.

However, most people don't live their entire lives in that manner. Many people claim that they don't have time to do X, Y, or Z but when you sit down with them you find that they watch 1-2 hours of TV every night, play golf every Saturday morning, and play video games on Saturday night.

Again, everyone needs time to relax so I am not criticizing those people. All I am saying is that if you can use writing as a way to relax then you can probably just substitute writing for something already in your daily routine.

That is how I have tried to go about writing. I also have a day job that pays the bills. I started writing because I came to the conclusion that video games and movies are akin to throwing away your time. I still watch movies with my wife and play video games with by brothers[-in-laws] but rarely by myself.

I generally have between 9:30 and when I go to bed to pay the bills and try and to relax. I can usually spend an hour writing every night because I am doing so in lieu of tv or games.

Hope this helps.
