Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. For example, remembering the number sequence of: 6-3-2-4-8-1-7-9 could be remembered easier if the sequence is chunked into: 63-24-81-79. So hang up the phone, find a quiet place and focus. Stay organized.

Now, my theory is that King didn’t get to write pretty darn good stuff every single time he sat down at the table just because he was genetically gifted with brilliance. It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. He’s been doing it for too long. I get hand cramps!

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours. Kenji – love James’ example in his comment.

If you were, say for example, to add WishList Member to Men with Pens and offer a paid level of content, you would be, essentially, creating a product. For example, if you sell a book for $10, you might sell a workbook for $40. I feel the gift of speech need to be leveraged. What follows is me thinking into my keyboard.

Going back to school was the best gift I could give myself. Do I write routinely about Policy and Management or about Labor Relations? I have an upcoming series of articles on Hong Kong, which not only uses my background in Asian/Chinese history, for example. When my son graduates, I will insist on it. Keep up the great work!!

For example, you’ve mentioned that you want to be paid for what you do, for the hours that go into your work and exposing yourself so much to your fans. Just once in a while… I find I have those moments as well, and if you’re not right there with the pen or the keyboard, then you’ve lost it. Just grasp that moment, eh?
