Fifteen places to write for even the busiest person

These days, when we have an extra few minutes, we tune into the world instead of tuning into ourselves.

What if you didn’t check your email or Facebook or Pinterest? What if you focused yourself inward instead of outward? I believe we all have 15 minutes a day we can give to ourselves.
Try these ways to get extra writing in your day.

1. Upon awakening, before getting out of bed.
2. In transition – before or after work, grab 15 minutes in the car.
3. While waiting at the post office or anywhere else.
4. At lunch, before or after you eat.
5. On the subway, bus or commuter plane.
6. While the kids are napping.
7. At the gym, write for 7 minutes before your workout to set your mind to your project. Then 8 minutes after to capture the ideas you’ve churned up.
8. While waiting for your pasta to boil.
9. When you’re at that slump point in your day and could use an energy boost.
10. After you’ve left a class and before you go into your other roles.
11. Before you do your ‘real’ writing or creating as a warm up.
12. In the middle of the night when you wake with insomnia.
13. At the kids’ soccer game, dance class, etc.
14. Before bed – though this can be pretty tough.
15. Before or after a difficult conversation, to clear.
