John & Kate Plus 8 -- Too Many?

The media is having a field day with the couple of the hit reality show, John and Kate Plus 8. According to various TV shows and magazines, the couple is having major marital problems, and the entire world is watching their lives unravel before our eyes.

In two words, I would say, "Too many." Of course I don't mean too many kids! People have had multiples for years and their marriages survived some of the toughest times. For John and Kate, too many eyes are watching them, too much exposure for the family, and too many people's opinions are being made about their lifestyle. These things can cause stress on the marriage and they threaten to tear a family apart.

Writer, do you have too much going on in your life? Are these things preventing you from writing effective information? Do you find it hard to complete your writing projects because of so many distractions?

What are some things you can and should eliminate in order to focus your mind, heart, and keyboard on getting back to the basics of writing? Below you'll find some things you can eliminate from your "hectic" schedule:
  • Watching reruns of your favorite show
  • Searching the Internet for hours on unnecessary information
  • Watching soap operas and reality shows
  • Taking long naps
  • Talking on the phone for long periods of time

While these things may be difficult to break away from, doing it can give you the exact time you need to refocus and get back on track with your writing!
