On this episode of the Book Proposal Podcast, I answer the question, “How do I find time to write my book?”
At the early stages, even before writing your book – or your book proposal – you can start developing your book’s content, in 5- or 10-minute increments. You can set short appointments with yourself or, whenever you have a few minutes of downtime, start writing down points you want to make, anecdotes, and concepts for your book. Remember to keep all of your ideas in the same notebook or computer document, so everything is together for when you’re ready to fully start working on it.
While finding time beyond those 10-minute spurts is a challenge, it is totally doable. See if it’s feasible to get up one hour earlier in the morning or go to sleep an hour later at night and work on your book then. Otherwise, look at your life, see where you’re spending your time, and then consider what adjustments you can make to your schedule. Find places to swap downtime for book-writing time,
Writing a book is a marathon, not a sprint. That’s why a book proposal is so important. As long as you have a roadmap for your content, whenever you find or make the time, you know what you need to do. You can simply focus on the writing.
