on Your WritingWriting

Writing requires concentration.


Every time you get interrupted, you lose a few minutes.


Studies say that it takes anywhere from 5 to 25

minutes to regain the level of focus you

had before getting interrupted.


When you’ve only got an hour or so a

day to make progress, you need to keep that time

sacred.
