I worked each day on editing and writing the most difficult chapter in my book, about the most traumatic event in my life. I finished the chapter today! I did it with God’s help and healing. – Grace Ciszkowski

I was able to start a new project and create momentum to move forward. This is a new season! I’ve been asking God what’s next. I intend to not trust on my own understanding, but acknowledge Him always. – Debra Miner

My biggest accomplishment this week is seeing that God gifted me in writing so that I may do it as a form of praise and worship of Him. I wrote 846 words and completed five hours of research. – Cheryl Oldham

I would call myself a reluctant writer. At the end of the seven days, the first draft of my book was finished. I wrote over 10,000 words in that short time period and I have to tell you I actually enjoyed the process! One of the things that helped me the most was learning to track my writing: the times, locations, and amount of writing I was able to accomplish helped me to understand when and where I did my best writing. Also, tracking my word count kept me motivated, because I could see what I was accomplishing each and every day.

Wow, learning the Pomodoro Technique has been a game-changer for me. WoooooHooooo!!! Four Pomodoros today. Wowzer – SUCH productivity! Exceeded my expectations. I LOVE the Pomodoro Technique and plan to implement it every day and see how it works in other situations (like house cleaning, decluttering, emails, etc.). Many thanks, Shelley – this is AWESOME!

I love the way all of the pieces of these strategies fit together. As I head into my day, I’m armed with my writing journal, my timer, goals, and affirmations. Before I even start writing today, I already KNOW it’s going to be a productive day. Woohoo!
