Continuing a series of posts about your book writing training (See previous posts: 1, 2 and 3)I'll talk about lesson four. It was about how to build your schedule so that you can work systematically on a book. The advice is based on the experience of various authors who have already published their book, sometimes more than one. Below are the highlights I learned from this lesson.

4. Important in your work principles, not instruments. For example, among the principles can be unambiguity, working on a book at the most productive time. (What for each of us is his own), withholding notice.
5. Work is important pace. This can be summarized by the schedule within the day, week, month. It's cool when we have slots inside the day when we can work on a book.
6. Systematic work It is important to focus not on a big goal, but on daily systematic work. And you can design the environment for work so as not to be distracted by excess and not to waste effort on self-control. It's in the book "Game Theory," which I'm talking about. remembered earlier
