Am I productive enough?

Sometimes I wonder.
It is true, there are days when either the mood isn’t quite right, or something else conspires to slow me down. Best laid plans and all that.
Some days I feel too old to get a wriggle on, a bit like trying to swim in treacle. There are also those days  when it is fun to play hooky and escape from everything, knowing the only one you answer to is you and your conscience. And you can handle that. Well, most of the time you can.
I read an interesting post the other day by Sacha Black, 3 tactics to make you a more productive writer. If you haven’t met Sacha or visited her blog yet, you really should. The girl writes brilliant posts and is a constant source of inspiration!
Planning your workload is crucial, and I have tried to include what I consider most important to our progress, but Sacha’s post had my brain off and running, and I am achieving far more than I normally do.
For instance; one day last week …I started my day by writing a chapter on my WIP, The Wrong Life. (my brain works better first thing)Then I read and cleared all of our emails.
Logged into our WP and Blogger sites, checking any comments and stats.Uploaded new posts on both sites.
Then I edited 5 chapters of Anita’s WIP, a Cornish drama called Let it Go.After lunch, I sorted out some artwork for the new covers.
Finished the beta read and review for Dan Alatorre new book, The Navigators.Worked on synopsis/blurb for Anita’s WIP.
Added another short story to an idea for a new book.Finally, arranged for Scarlet Ribbons to be free for the week on Amazon Book Promotion.
This was all in one day, and I managed to play one of my pc games and complete an online jigsaw puzzle while having my lunch. I hope you are all impressed, for I know I was!
There are many other jobs on my list, and I wish I had more days like this. Our progress seems slow, but we are in a better position than we were a year ago.
We always try our best, whether we are writing or gardening, editing or decorating, promoting our books or cutting the hedge in the back garden.
We love what we do, no matter what it is, for at the end of the day that’s all that matters, isn’t it?
