Don’t beat yourself up, Robyn. Parkinson’s law applies to EVERYONE!

I should try giving myself shorter deadlines, I bet it would definitely get me to write faster. Thanks for these points Daphne!

Thanks for noticing, Charli. I work hard to do exactly that!

The mind map should give you an “ah ha” moment, when you KNOW what you want to write about. If that hasn’t occurred for you, try mindmapping on a slightly different topic/angle.

Definitely not fun. Also infuriating to get the “cure” so late in the game. Don’t treat the cure for writer’s block the same way! Write every day and write as fast as you can.

So was I. It took me about six months to break the habit (eight or so years ago.) I think it took me that long because I was almost 50 before I addressed it. Don’t wait!

Glad to help. Don’t let your writing suffer from Parkinson’s law!
