How Productive Writers get it done (by listening Flashback Friday with Laura Vanderkam) (Replay of Episode 116)

<p>If you’ve listened to any of us for any time at all you know we love Laura Vanderkam, author of <a target="_blank" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9780143109723">I Know How She Does It</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://bookshop.org/a/1183/9781591844105">168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think</a>. People often attribute to KJ a piece of advice she learned from Laura: People are a good use of time. We think of Laura every time we start to call ourselves “too busy” and then remember that much of what fills our time is a choice, and if we want to do it, we’ll find a way to get it done. </p><p>One glorious result—we’re all much better at saying “yes” to the things that are important to us and “no” to the things that would get in their way.</p><p>Because we always benefit from a re-read of Laura’s books, we’re bringing this earlier interview out and sharing it again. </p><p>Laura also has a new book out: <a target="_blank" href="https://lauravanderkam.com/books/tranquility-by-tuesday/?utm_source=Just+A+Minute+Newsletter&#38;utm_campaign=4809261ab0-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_June2021_COPY_01&#38;utm_medium=email&#38;utm_term=0_ec8af55665-4809261ab0-315647001">Tranquility by Tuesday</a>:  9 ways to calm the chaos and make time for what matters. The idea is genius: upgrade your Tuesday, upgrade your life. The nine rules here really do offer big impact from small change. We can’t recommend it highly enough!</p><p>Also on the horizon: If being a book coach –and you know we love book coaches here--sounds like a dream,  but you have no idea how you will run your business or get clients, our friend and sponsor Jennie Nash is hosting an event this month for you. </p><p>In <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bookcoaches.com/find-your-zone-of-genius">Find Your Zone of Genius as a Book Coach</a>, Jennie will share the top reasons people resist starting a new endeavor, and how to fight through those negative thoughts.
