I used to switch between writing and editing three different books. Then I realized how much time I wasted jumping between them and getting reoriented, so I focused on getting the first one done, and then the second.

I've run into a similar problem with my social media. Now I plan to use Friday as my social media day (Pinterest, Instagram, etc.) I can write my Substack post and schedule it for later. Monday through Thursday is reserved for writing in the morning, email and admin tasks in the afternoon. Any distracting idea gets jotted down in the appropriate section of my notes to come back to later.

I really appreciate this info! I’m into editing my first book and beginning to plan my second. Not sure I could handle trying to edit two - let alone three - at the same time! Hoping that since these are two different tasks I’ll be okay. Well, as close as I can get to okay!

Thanks so much for sharing! Looking forward to checking out Beyond the Water’s Edge. Magical realms are my thing❣️
