And Helpful Hints to Avoid Them:
(1) Figure out when you’re most productive (start an activity diary to find that out), then schedule your sessions during those times without phone, computer, or other distracters.
(2) Set realistic, immediate goals during each writing session.
(3) Though seemingly obvious, plan ahead to avoid people, places, or things that you KNOW take you off-point (and vice versa, put yourself around environments proven to inspire you).
(4) Recognize that staying focused is not easy; but important accomplishments rarely are. Stick with it, the sacrifice is worth it!
