Day 8 NaNoWriMo – Time Management as a Theme

Day 8 blog – but I was so tired last night I didn’t hit publish. So I’m doing it bright and early before my flight out of sin city! :]

The 20Books Vegas conference has been amazing. And exhausting. I’ve taken a small notebook worth of notes and it will take a few weeks to sift through all I’ve learned to prioritize my action items. Because what is the us of learning if we don’t act on and use what we’ve learned, right?

A common theme with every successful author or entrepreneur I’ve heard speak is about managing your time. We all have the same amount of hours in each day. The difference between success in your field and wallowing in mediocrity is how you spend those hours. Are you working at your craft or business efficiently? Are there time wasters in your day that you can cut out? (The joke at this conference was cutting out socializing and traveling – haha).

I was glad the conference was in a place that wasn’t close to the major attractions like the Vegas strip. I didn’t leave the hotel at all – so I was able to either focus on the conference sessions, writing, or socializing with new friends and collaborators. Since I don’t fly out until the day after the conference ends, I was able to get in a bunch of words (2100) on Thursday.

Got to meet my shuttle for the airport – next stop San Diego!

Keep writing and reading!!!
