Say No To That Which Falls Outside Your Core Mission

Perhaps just a reminder post--I have written about this a bunch.  We are in a global pandemic (no duh, Rich), you don't have to take on more, and especially not things tangential to the core of your mission. You can and should say no to things that are not super congruent with your key skills and values.

The core of your mission. Know it--live within it. That is it for now.

Writing Agenda Plate

A year ago, I wrote a post that explored the optimal number of writing projects. You can find it here. 

One of my wonderful clients took these insights a step further, and created a fantastic visual depiction of her weekly writing agenda. The items that are on her plate are the only things that she can "eat"--everything else is saved in the metaphorical 'fridge or cupboard. If you like this idea and find it valuable, try doing your own!
