173: There Are No "Bad" Habits

173: There Are No "Bad" Habits

Do you blame "bad" habits for your clogged publication pipeline? Whether you struggle with avoidance, multi-tasking, or poor project management, our Navigate program is designed to help you make lasting changes to your writing process. The first step is to outline your current "bad" habits and what purpose those actions serve.

Today, I discuss "bad" habits. Most productivity advice says procrastination is a writer's kryptonite. However, I look at procrastination differently. Every person has a different process and different writing needs. The way you work might serve you. And that's okay! So let's dive into how to distinguish a bad habit from a good one and make sustainable upgrades to our writing habits.
