Writing

Jim Gibbon.com � Blog Archive � One Simple Technique to Help You Overcome Procrastination and Start Writing Now

This blog post by Jim Gibbon recommends that you write for 30 minutes every day. My contingency management, a reward that I get only get after I write for the day will be not reading and researching on the net.

This evening I started a folder in my bookmarks labeled Tomorrows Posts for anything that I might later want to use Blog This with. If I have nothing in mind to blog about I will be using Text Editor to write notes and ideas. I might try mailing the not ready for prime time ramblings to myself at my G-mail account. It would make them private & searchable.

The post talks about
Contingency management has been around for years, but I just learned about it in a great book by Robert Boice called Professors as Writers: A Self-Help Guide to Productive Writing.

I checked and the local college library doesn't have this book although it does have four of Robert Boice's other books. For $13.57 I should just buy the book from Amazon.com.
