Summary of the Key Points from Kickstart

* Time is precious. We all have a tight budget of just 24 hours.
* Prioritise the things in your life that are important and getting rid of things that are not.
* If writing is truly important to you as a hobby or career, then you will FIND time for it.
* Book an appointment with yourself into your diary and just WRITE!
* Record it as an appointment like you would any other important commitment.
* Don't feel guilty. This is your time.
* Treat your writing as a proper job - with a start time, production goals and deadlines.
* Start small. Don't get overwhelmed with the thought of the whole project.
* Break your project up into bite sized chunks and it will seem more manageable.
* Just because someone throws you a ball, doesn't mean you have to catch it!

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
