In this Writing Wednesday episode, I continue with part 2 of my new 4 part series based off my recent episode How I Made $20,050 in 30 days of Writing. During this series, I will talk about the 20 lessons I learned from that month. I recently wrote about this on Medium but wanted to dive deeper into each lesson on the podcast!

In September 2019, I had my best month of freelance writing! The tips I am sharing here are five writing tips that I learned to that helped me maximize my time and productivity to get the most out of that busy month.

5 More Lessons from My Best Month in Freelance Writing

In September of 2019, I had my best month of freelance writing! The tips I am sharing here are five writing tips that I learned to that helped me maximize my time and productivity to get the most out of that busy month.

1.  Listen to Binaural Beats
This type of music is comprised of different beats said to increase focus, concentration, and motivation.

2. Get out of the House
Even a simple walk can help clear the mind and re-energize you!

3. Find Your Best Time of Day to Write 
This is key to getting more done in less time. For me writing early in the day is best, for you it might in the afternoon or evening, test different time periods out to find your ideal writing time. 

4. Use the Pomodoro Technique 
Using this method, break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as Pomodoro and encourage people to work with the time they have – rather than against it.

5. Wear UV blocking glasses.
These type of glasses filter blue light and can help avoid eye strain which is important when you stare at computer most of the day. 

Stay tuned for the next 5 tips and if you implement these I would love to know!

If you are ready to take the next step and launch your freelance writing career, I would love to help you build momentum!
