Planning Ahead Can Save You Aggravation!
This is the most essential piece of advice I can give you. It can save you a lot of aggravation down the road. If you know you are going to be busy, then be sure to plan ahead. Write out an outline for each and every article you plan to write and when it comes time to writing them out, it will be easier. Do your preliminary research ahead of time so you will not wind up spending hours at a time reading through all of the internet research and checking out other product reviews, etc.
You may even wish to try using a calendar to help you plan ahead.
There are many digital calendar tools out there for free such as the following:
- In his weekly webinars, Jay sometimes talks about Google Calendars
- My Calendar - it is a free download that you can sign in using FB or G+
- Keep& Share Online Calendars - There is a premium option, but the free option is perfectly fine to use.

Yep. I have heard of that. The Pomodoro technique uses a timer to break down work into intervals, like for instance 25 minutes in length and is separated by short breaks. These intervals are named pomodoros. Am I right?

reminds me of the days of anti-mousearm software. They also broke it down in shorter and longer work moments.. with breaks where you couldn't use your pc anymore as you had to go for a walk or an exercise ;-)
