Jogging as a Model

This morning I had to get my son to the train station for school camp. I normally get home from my jog at around seven, which would have cut it close. So I cut the jog down by 15 minutes, which is to say, by half. Just once around the park. It was pretty insignificant as exercise, but better than nothing, not just because I did actually break a sweat, but because it kept to the routine.

You can do the same for writing. Even a short writing session is better than nothing. It lets your routine know that there's still a place there in the morning for your writing. There's a will to hold that place.
