In this special bonus minisode, we tackle the number one barrier preventing coaches from writing their books: time. Drawing from her experience as a change management professional and coach, Helen explores practical strategies for fitting writing into busy schedules without sacrificing your coaching practice or personal life. Helen shares insights from previous podcast guests and their diverse approaches to finding writing time, from joining the 5am club to scheduling dedicated writing hours during the workday. She emphasises that you don't need to lock yourself away or decline social invitations—even 15 minutes of daily writing can lead to significant progress over time. The episode covers: Alternative writing routines Creating boundaries around your writing time, Leveraging accountability through community or public commitment, Choosing dedicated writing spaces And importantly, knowing when not to write.     Resources mentioned: To reserve your place at the next free Coach Write workshop running Wednesday 3rd December at midday GMT or Thursday 4th December at 6pm GMT go to https://wwwcoachwrite.co.uk/workshop   Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott https://amzn.to/4o2nymJ   Connect with Helen Website: https://www.helenoneillcoaching.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/oneillhelen  Register to join the waitlist for the next cohort of Coach Write 90: https://www.coachwrite.co.uk/coachwrite90   *Some of links above are affiliate links
