Writers: If you’re going to procrastinate, do it right.

From Gretchen Rubin’s, “Problem With Procrastination? Try This: Do Nothing.

[Raymond] Chandler set aside at least four hours each day for writing; he didn’t force himself to write, but he didn’t let himself do anything else. He wouldn’t let himself read, write letters, write checks — nothing. He summed up: “Two very simple rules: a.) You don’t have to write. b.) You can’t do anything else. The rest comes of itself.”
