Learning to Say "No"

"You must say No to what is less important to be able to focus on what is most important."

This is the mantra for my writing career. Too many times, I can get caught up in volunteer work, helping friends or family or simply doing too much for the people around me. My writing always takes the hit...It isn't that my writing isn't valuable to me, it just means that many times the other situations seem more "in need" and I always think "I will get right back to it" but it inevitably always throws my rhythm off and I have to go back to step one.

This is my struggle and goal today: Learning how to put my writing first. How about you? Share your ideas and comments about how you put your writing first.
