I am back from the Thanksgiving food rush and I have to say, for Holly's How to Find Your Writing Discipline... Wow. Just wow. I can see how Holly has written so many books - fiction and non-fiction. So many articles, essays, workshops, mini-courses and courses. This course teaches you in very clean and simple terms what she has done to keeps deadlines and organized.Wow.
It's not a hard system to implement at all. Especially with the momentum you have from the first few days. And I can tell you, from my experience so far, once you see results you'll be geared up to keep the system going.
It's a great system for procrastinators by the way (as is Holly's brief mention of what she calls '10 Minute Magic'). When you get up every day and see your goals clearly outline and see the progress you can think, well, Step A is small but it's progress nonetheless. You think, 'That's all I have to do to feel productive today?' Well, that's nothing!
I have found that my frustration on my days off come from a lack of clear goals and slight routine. In the past even if I did a mountain of things I don't feel as if I have truly accomplished much in any given day. But now, with my goals clearly laid out before me - not just writing but the steps I have to take to reach big goals outside of my writing life - I can literally SEE the progress I have made and the steps I must take to feel that solid moment of bliss thanks to accomplishing simple tasks, one at a time.
Of course it all comes down to you as a person and what you are passionate about in life. If anything I have found that this system isn't just for writing - it can be for whatever you want to achieve in your short span on Earth.
It all depends on a person and their priorities. If you need to find a little discipline in your life, I suggest you take a look at Holly's discipline course.
