Like most of us, I’m a busy guy. I’ve got a full-time job. I’ve got a family. This means I have to be very organized with my time if I want to get my writing done. And I’m not an organized guy by nature. One thing I do to keep myself on track is to use a production calendar. I explain more about it in this video.

Writing the Lights Out 27 – I bought a Mac this week, and quickly decided to try the writing software Scrivener.
So far, there are three things I really like:
1. The way scenes and chapters are treated as individual documents for easy sorting.
2. The area for storing all your research material.
3. The way it lets you set up project goals (Project Targets) and daily goals (Session Targets).

Writing the Lights Out 26 – When I’m in the hands of a master storyteller, everything but the story disappears. Which is awesome, but am I missing something by not taking the time to figure out why the story is so effective? Audiobooks force me to slow down and pay attention. Plus? I can listen while driving. Way more books and way less crashing.

I really liked this post by John L. Monk and this post by Kristine McKinley . I’m a giant productivity nerd, so I love hearing about how others are doing it. Inspired by their transparency, I thoughts I’d share a few techniques I have recently put in place to help my own productivity.
Three tips that have helped me become more productive of late:
1. Have a production calendar.
2. Overlap projects.
3. Plan for the worst.
