Being indistractable is the skill of the century.\u201d<\/em> \u2014\u00a0Shane Parrish, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/fs.blog\/\">Farnam Street<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/20-famous-writers-on-when-they-do-their-best-work\/\">When<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-workplaces\/\">where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? Are you the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>I write in the morning, 9:30, five days a week. I don\u2019t know if there\u2019s anything particularly special about the mornings but it is critical that I have time on my schedule set aside for writing. As I wrote in my new book, <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/R12h1\"><em>Indistractable<\/em><\/a>, \u201cYou can\u2019t call something a distraction unless you know what it distracted you from.\u201d You must plan your time or someone else will.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/pre-writing-rituals\/\">pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n<p>I wake up at 7am, make breakfast for my family, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-need-exercise\/\">exercise<\/a>, shower, then get to work. I often co-work with other authors at my home or at a local coffee shop. Co-working next to other people is a great way to make sure you start on time and stay focused.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>? Do you think such a thing exists?<\/h3>\n<p>I think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a> is a myth. There\u2019s always something to write about! That doesn\u2019t mean what I write will be publishable of course. In fact, 90 percent of what I write is trashed as part of the process.<\/p>\n<p>Writing is like talking into a keyboard. No one ever says they have \u201ctalker\u2019s block.\u201d My problem is there is always too much to write about. Some writers write about what they know, I write about what I <em>want to<\/em> know. As long as I follow my curiosity, I never run out of things to write about. There are so many unanswered questions out there.<\/p>\n<h3>With your research on the psychology of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a> and habit-forming products, what are some of the go-to tools in your writing routine?<\/h3>\n<p>I use tech to block out tech. For instance, almost every time I write, I use a little app on my phone called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forestapp.cc\/\">Forest<\/a>. It\u2019s a timer that plants a virtual tree when you start a focused work session. If you pick up your phone and try and exit the app, the tree dies. It\u2019s a little pre-commitment device that helps me stay focused.<\/p>\n<h3>Your new book <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/R12h1\"><em>Indistractable<\/em><\/a> just released. What were some of your greatest discoveries and insights in researching and writing the book that you\u2019ve applied to your writing routine?<\/h3>\n<p>The most important thing I learned writing <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/R12h1\"><em>Indistractable<\/em><\/a> is that distraction starts from within. We like to blame our gadgets or other people for distracting us from the work we want to do, but if we\u2019re honest with ourselves, distraction is really an emotion regulation issue. As I say in the book, \u201cTime management is pain management.\u201d In order to become indistractable, the first step is to learn tools for managing the discomfort within us, like boredom, loneliness, fatigue, and insecurity.<\/p>\n<h3>All of your work is very research-intensive. What is your<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/i-research-3-new-york-times-bestselling-authors-spare-time\/\"> method for researching<\/a> and organizing material you might want to use for your future writing?<\/h3>\n<p>I collect interesting articles on topics I may want to write about in an app called <a href=\"https:\/\/getpocket.com\/\">Pocket<\/a>. This helps me in two ways. First, I have a rule to never read articles in my web browser. I find it too difficult to avoid getting whisked down a content vortex of interesting articles on line. Instead, by saving articles into Pocket, I can read them later without all the external triggers that can lead to distraction. Another benefit is that the app reads these articles to you, which means I can listen while I walk or workout at the gym.<\/p>\n<p>If I hear an article I like, I\u2019ll email it to myself where I can process it for use in a future book I may write.<\/p>\n<h3>What does a successful writing day mean for you? And how do you finish out a day of writing? Do you have a process, or is it just that you know you\u2019ve hit a natural stopping point?<\/h3>\n<p>A good writing day is typically two hours of new words on the page. I don\u2019t really care about output, which is something you really can\u2019t control. My job is to spend my time the way I intended. As an author, you can\u2019t predict when a breakthrough idea will hit you, but what you can always control is the time you put into your work.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/best-books-writing-process\/\">writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulgraham.com\/articles.html\">Paul Graham\u2019s essays<\/a> were a huge influence. I love the way he overturns apple carts to help you see the world in a new way.<\/p>\n<h3>What is your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/expert-advice-to-aspring-writers\/\">advice to aspiring writers<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p>The six rules, as taught to me in my college journalism class where: read, read, read, write, write, write. That is, to borrow from Nike, just do it! These days, we don\u2019t need to ask permission from editors or publishers to be writers. We can write blogs, publish on Medium, and self-publish our own books. There\u2019s nothing in our way except our drive to do it. Today, writing costs (almost) nothing but your time.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, all sorts of things will get in your way and working hard is necessary but not sufficient. Meaning, that honing your craft doesn\u2019t guarantee success. But as with anything worth having in life, not working hard at it guarantees failure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">___________<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-ccd1\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--h3 m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--leading\">Ready to create a writing routine of your\u00a0own?<\/h3>\n<p id=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-9a9e\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--h3\">Sign up now and receive our free guide\u00a0<em>\u201c<a class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--anchor m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1514038873687000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH5yl1byOuXmZDdLI8muC9FJDeFvg\"><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-strong\">12 Essential Writing Routines To Help You To Craft Your Own<\/span><\/a><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-strong\">.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p id=\"m_-8554750413077525544e4c2\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--p\">Learn from the routines of superstar authors\u00a0<em class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--em m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--p-em\">Stephen King, Gertrude Stein, John Grisham, Ernest Hemingway, Neil Gaiman, and many more.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"m_-8554750413077525544e2d7\" class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--h4 m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf-after--p m_-8554750413077525544gmail-graf--trailing\"><a class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--anchor m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--h4-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1514038873687000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH5yl1byOuXmZDdLI8muC9FJDeFvg\"><span class=\"m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--strong m_-8554750413077525544gmail-markup--h4-strong\">Get the free guide\u00a0here!<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who:\u00a0Nir Eyal Claim To Fame: Nir Eyal lectured at Stanford&#8217;s Graduate School of Business and Institute of Design.
