10 Ways to Stay Organized and Make Progress as a Writer

1.Keep important information/documents in a specific spot where you will remember it
-like on your desk in a specific drawer that is clearly marked
-or in a file cabinet that is set aside specifically for a certain project

2.Keep at least two sources of your work available with access from any electronic device
-Hard copy that is kept in a safe place
-Electronically stored copy that you can access from an electronic device(computer, iphone, android, kindlefire, etc)

3.Keep track of your goal(s)
-via a wall calendar or daily planner so you can record or save a date/deadline
-Mark each goal off as they are achieved or no longer on the table for completing

4.Write and keep your rough drafts to look at later
-Write everyday; even if it is only a sentence or paragraph
-Write on your calendar when you write and for how long
-Keep track of what you write about so you can track your writing patterns
