Pockets work great!Release Date: July 25, 2026(episode 294) In my last post , I recommended you value yourself and your work enough to stop putting it off. The assignment: figure out where the time goes so you find time to write. The good news is that even if you only have slivers of time available, a lot of writing rolls onto the page during these “Pocket Sessions.” This post encourages you with quotes from famous writers who worked during Pocket Sessions and with practical tips to make the most of your time. Learn more at the link to this episode where you'll find the full post with additional resources, including 5-Minute Writer HERE. To support you on your goal of finding time to write, consider joining WriteTrackers. We write together twice a week for an hour and a half. Some people can only come to one or the other or only a couple of times a month and they still report that they are completing projects they never would have gotten to if they hadn’t joined WriteTrackers. I love hosting this because I write alongside everyone and get things done, too. Learn more at writetrackers.com.","meta_description":"Don’t have blocks of time to write?
