Yesterday was my first full time day writing
for the summer.
(The week before, I had another contract extension).
Normally, I write 4,000 solid words a day.
Yesterday, I managed 1,000
(and some editing).
Why?
Because every time
I switch projects,
it takes me time to ramp up.
My mind partially remains
on the previous project.
I’m only working with half a brain
(or less).
Most people experience this.
That means I am more efficient
if I group like tasks.
It also means that I should plan
for this ramp up.
Build in a buffer
when you switch projects.
