Wasting Time

I don't know about you, but I never have enough time to write. Don't get me wrong. I write every day. Sometimes I even write a lot. But there's never enough time to write as much as I'd like. I've been working steadily at getting rid of some of my little time wasters. Even when I'm logged in and working on the computer, I can sometimes go MINUTES without checking email. I'm exaggerating--a little--but my point is that I know I'm guilty of wasting time like this, and I'm working hard at creating better habits.
The WM Freelance Connection has a fantastic post today, When a Writer Wastes Time on Unnecessary Evils (and That Writer is Me).  It's an honest look at some of the little ways in which we wast time--and then complain about how we don't have enough time to write.

One of the things I cut from my routine was writing my blog, but I think I've carved enough "few minutes" out of my time wasting to get back at it.
