What To Do When You’re Stuck in a Rut
3 Strategies for those who struggle with self-discipline and following through on priorities
The Problem —
I love to write. I guess that’s not a surprise, since writing is my career now. But lately, I had been procrastinating about my writing.
Oh, I can plan to write. I can block out time. I can schedule what I’m going to work on to the point where my Google Calendar doesn’t have an inch of space left unscheduled.
But the last few weeks, maybe even longer than that, my ability to follow my scheduling has completely gone off the rails. I was simply stuck in a rut.
And I couldn’t figure out what was going on.
I was busy all the time but didn’t seem to get done what I needed to do.
Not only was my client writing suffering somewhat, but my extra writing on Medium and other places was falling away too.
The Solutions
So, my Top 3 post this week shares some of the posts from Medium writers that I read and took heed of as I struggled to regain my self-discipline, prioritize, and follow through.
