The Acuff tip is brilliant: cut goal in half or double time. So, I’m not the only one who does the writerly equivalent of biting off more than I can chew? Achieving a goal is itself so encouraging!
I LOVED Acuff's book. I felt seen and immediately able to plan better. Also more competent than before. I've been tracking time and words for a few years now, with goals expressed in time. It has worked wonders for me. My work involves much research and recognizing this as writing time turned heavy research days to celebrations of productivity instead of getting farther behind.
