Hi Marie! Thanks for the compliments. I also recommend reading the book, The Well-Fed Writer, Back for Seconds (by Peter Bowerman). I modeled my business after his book, with a few tweaks here and there.

My problem with computer timers is that I’ll forget to turn it on! That’s why a handheld timer works better for me (for now). It’s the “toddler factor.” I have to have something I can remember to turn on, and that I can pause in time to catch her before she throws her toy in the toilet. LOL!

But I think the timer you mentioned will be a valuable tool for many.

I’ll go check out your site too, and I hope you visit again!

Hi Theda, I just found your blog through BlogHer and it’s relly interesting. I am currently working full time in the marketing field and part of my job is copywriting. I’ve been doing some for friends, too and I am considering starting a small complementary business.
About your “use a timer” advice, I’d like to recommend one I’ve been using for years - see http://www.timepanic.com; it is very easy to switch between tasks/clients and to customize it to your needs.
