It’s how I get through so many books in a year. 🙂

But ONLY if I’ve already started a project. I think you hit on a great point – that you have to get started and be in that “flow” state to want to keep continuing during those bits and pieces of time.

If I’m between projects, I just don’t have the motivation to START a new one in these “in-between” times. Hmm, food for thought.

In 15 minutes, I can prep fresh strawberries for the freezer or blanch a few pounds of asparagus. The time investment now pays off handsomely in the middle of winter.

BUT–I am going to start following your example, and use some of those short blocks of time for writing (and eventually revising). I’ve seen how much I can accomplish simply by working on a household project for 15 minutes. Now it’s time to apply that to writing.

@nicoleandmaggie — very true. We tend to make time for sleep!

SLEEP!
