What an excellent and timely post.

I’d been doing a lot of thinking and making some changes to allow me to streamline. But I wondered if other writers did this, too—or if I was just copping out. I see that I’m not.

I’m certainly energized and more focused, as a result of streamlining—by deciding which of my projects deserve the most attention and ways that I could cut back on some social networking that wasn’t yielding the kinds of results I want. Thanks for the ideas.

@Christina, you make a great example.

@Carmen, thanks for letting me know about the templates. It’s not so much as a struggle to plan as I have a full schedule and like what I am doing. I just wonder if I need to do something to go to the next level and what.

@Kristine, of course.

@Pamela, you’re right. So far, things are going well. So I should cut myself some slack.

Thanks for the mention, and the notification of others you’ve drawn from in this post Meryl!

Whether one changes direction, jumps in head-first into a new or reinvigorated venture or makes efficiencies to their current model to ‘streamline’, if you are working towards your goal, you are enjoying what you are doing and your model works for you, that is all you need!

Thanks for the inspiration…

Found my way to your blog via Christina Katz’ tweet. Streamlining is key… even though I try to keep things trim, it’s always worth a look around to see what can go, at least once a year. Loved your bullet point suggestions.

As for your ‘struggle to plan’, I’ve just recently started a website with templates and a guidebook to specifically help writers with planning. Perhaps it’ll help with your process. Cheers! Carmen

Thanks for the mention! I am the same, I love what I do. Love the diversity and that I am never bored. As you mentioned, I got carried away last year and had to pare back but now…heaven! And becoming more heavenly daily.
