Like Elizabeth and her post yesterday about being Creativity Challenged, I find myself very challenged creatively. And although I swore I wouldn’t do another writing course until I got more words on the pages of my current WIP, I just signed up for one. Productivity Hacks for Writers by Jessica Brody on udemy. The tagline for it is: Simple Strategies and Proven Techniques to Be More Productive and Get the Most Out of Every Writing Day. I attended a breakout session at RWA (Atlanta, I think) that was excellent. She is an enthusiastic, endlessly positive, motivational speaker who believes wholeheartedly in her product. In fact, she reminds me of Steven Covey, except with a cheerleader’s energy and pompoms rather than Covey’s slow-paced, methodical delivery.
I certainly need all the help I can get to be more productive. There are 42 lectures with 3 hours of video (lifetime access so I won’t lose any if I can’t get to them immediately) separated into six sections Here is another blurb from the email:
That’s 20+ strategies, tips, tools and techniques to help you:
• Eliminate distractions
• Inspire creativity
• Stay organized
• Boost brain function
• Focus your attention and energy
• Effortlessly get into the writing zone every single day
You can find a link to her writing courses here and links to all the udemy here. My world is topsy-turvy right now and I’m hoping this will give me some tips to focus and write. It would be a great escape from the crazy.
How is your productivity? Or your crazy?

That course sounds very interesting, Michille. Let us know how it turns out.
I’ll let you know. Anything at all would be an improvement for me.
I’m interested, too, Michille. My productivity has been non-existent lately.
So has mine, Jeanne. Of course, it’s Saturday and I’m also on my work computer which I never would have done pre-pandemic, but this is my new normal. Hoping to kick-start some creative productivity to make my brain happier.
I would love to go back to school for a little bit. My list of “would like to do” is as long as my arm, though.
I’ve been thinking about going back to school, too. I have no idea why that has been in my head, I already have a master’s degree and I have no interest in a Ph.D. so I don’t know what the back to school would even be. My brain isn’t working correctly right now, I guess.
