What is one thing that helps you get something done? A great playlist? A sense of motivation? Inspiration? Someone sitting you down and telling you to do it? There could be many things.

For me, what really helps me get things done is a great playlist or a sense of motivation/inspiration. And encouragement. I have a really amazing sister who encourages me when I text her to tell her about my latest book idea or something like that. She encourages me to sit down and write out the idea or to sit down and write something. She’s always there when I need her.

As a writer, it can sometimes be hard to find the motivation to do something. Its taken me a while to find the motivation to write out this blog post. XD I know. But I’m doing it. I’m sitting down, and I’m just writing what comes to me.

It can be hard to just do it.

Now I know there are a lot of people, not just writers, who can struggle with this. Not having the motivation or inspiration to do something. It can be anything.

For me, its writing. Sometimes I don’t have the motivation to write. It can be hard especially since I’m a public school student who has homework, tests and a billion other things I have to do. Sometimes it feels like I have to put my writing on the back burner for a while and just focus on the task at hand. But that’s not what I want. It’s really discouraging to me when I don’t write anything during the week. Most of my writing is done on the weekend. Even when I do have inspiration during the week, it feels like school must come first.

Don’t get me wrong. School is very important. But, why can’t I do what I love while I go to school? I can find the time to write. I know I can.

And you can find the time to do what you love too. I know life is crazy busy. I know that life can sometimes get in the way of that. It can be hard to find the inspiration you need. It can be hard to find the motivation you need to do it. Or find the time to do it. It just seems impossible.

With school, helping out around the house and all the other things I have going on, it can be hard to find the time, the inspiration and the motivation to get some writing done. But, I’m going to try. Everyday this week I’m going to sit down and write something. I’m never going to accomplish my goals if I don’t find the time to do it. Nothings impossible.

I encourage you to find the time. Find the motivation. Find the inspiration. If that means sitting down and playing that super awesome playlist then go for it. This is your time to do it. This is your time to shine.
