“If I organize my life in such a way that I get lots of long, consecutive, uninterrupted time-chunks, I can write novels. But as those chunks get separated and fragmented, my productivity as a novelist drops spectacularly.”
I just became a full time traveler and took a month off of working.
It was the best and worst decision I could have made. The time away from work was great but I did exactly this-I created a massive chunk of time where I wasn’t in my work mode. This meant that when I finally reopened my laptop and tried to write something…I had no idea what I was doing.
I had no clientele and I had to start from scratch. Three weeks later and I finally have the ball rolling again and have created more consistency in my content, copy and ghostwriting projects.
It took me three weeks to get back to where I was which meant that for three weeks I barely had any income. As a freelancer, looking at work from this perspective is the most efficient way to make sure that I am making a consistent salary and not accidentally taking seven weeks off of work.
Great read and advice Anthony Moore!
