"Formal Interventions." Ah, Boice.
Okay Boice, I'll pick up what you're laying down this time.
"Reflecting what we have accomplished each day"
I rarely do this in regards to writing. Again, out of fear perhaps that I may end up realizing I am unsatisfied with the amount accomplished?
Preparing for Daily Sessions
I have marked by this step "I CAN'T KEEP TRACK OF ALL THIS PLANNING!"
In the middle of writing the thought, the amount of aversion to change (even something as small as a 2 minute planning period) is a bit ridiculous. I took a breath, laughed to myself, and continued on with an open mind.
"Point of free-writing-to-plan is to supplement, not supplant daily writing"
Making BDS a Regular Habit
(... it has the word "daily" in the phrase - how is it not considered a regular habit yet?)
Pairing this type of exercise to morning, weekday times eases the apprehension of writing for me.
"Instills confidence and pride"
Reading this makes me sit a little taller, creates a little spark, considering the possibility of these feelings in association with writing
Making writing a moderate priority threw me off a bit. If you're a writer, bringing home the bacon with said writing, I'd consider writing a top priority. So is it the process or the product that are viewed with moderate priority?
Minsky's Law - I would love to learn more about this! I'm surprised that making something a high focus priority decreases its possibilities of success.
Stay in touch with writing on a daily basis.
(BDS? Is there an echo in here?)
"Rules for productivity persist because they work, regardless of writers' general philosophies"
Arranging a regular site specifically for writing - sounds like the advice given to those with trouble sleeping, making the bed only a place for sleep or sex, nothing else.
Making yourself sit there in the environment, even if you feel you cannot write, is also interesting to me. I imagine sitting there, twiddling my thumbs. BUT - we have been learning about active waiting, no?
Write on fellow warriors.
