There is one aspect of a writer’s life that will always be with us: change.

Just about the time you get a workable writing schedule (write during baby’s naptime, write on lunch hour at work), something changes. The toddler refuses to nap; the quiet lunchroom gets taken over by the wellness aerobics class. Your writing schedule has to go back to the drawing board.

Don’t Re-Invent the Wheel

I’m heading into a season of some big changes myself now, and it will definitely impact my writing schedule. But I know that thousands of writers have gone before me, and hundreds have shared their time management ideas in books and magazines and on websites.

Here are some good links for you to check out! Even if you’re managing your time just fine now, I’d suggest bookmarking these sites for later. At some point, life will change. You’ll move into a new season–and need additional strategies then.

• More than twenty articles on time management
• Ten strategies for better time management
• A personal time management guide–many links to more articles
• Dozens of time management articles and strategies
• Personal time management articles
• Twenty articles of time management tips

Maybe you prefer reading books, like I do. A list of my favorite books on time management is posted here.

   You’re welcome, Karin. One of these days I’m going to devote a whole day to reading all those articles and taking notes on new things I find. I’m sure there are new ways for me to s-t-r-e-t-c-h my time!
