Kacey Ezell Writer Life

Passing through NYC on our way to New England. Husband and I decided to go house hunting this weekend. Wish us luck!

File this one under: things I will miss when I move to New England. :) Seriously, I have loved my job and community here in Virginia, and leaving will definitely be bittersweet. Enjoy this sunrise view from my office, friends! :)

00:00 Intro and HB90 Discussion 06:34 Building Your Writing Schedule In Notion 19:34 Scheduling Your Writing Projects & Building Your Project Database 39:12 Integrating Your Projects Database With The HB90 Method 57:02 Outro and Thanks Today we're taking a look at how I use Notion to schedule and track my writing projects, as well as how I integrate them with my quarterly goal setting system. I'm using Sarra Cannon's amazing HB90 Method as my 90-day planning system, and it's been such a game changer! But you could realistically use this setup with any goal setting system that breaks goals down into projects, and then takes the projects and breaks them down further into individual tasks.

I'm fortunate in that my employer encourages us to pursue our own interests when we can't be flying. Such as, for example, when a cool looking line of thunderstorms sweeps through the city! :) I am so fortunate to have two amazing jobs I love: flying and writing! Hope you enjoyed this peek into my pilot/writer life! :) Want to know more? Go check out my website at www.kaceyezell.net and join my newsletter!

A quick reminder: you gotta take care of your physical, mental, and spiritual health in order to be at your best and most creative. Rest is productive. Play is productive. Eating and drinking and hygiene is all PRODUCTIVE! Don't let hustle culture convince you that you don't have time to care for yourself. You don't have time not to. Much love!
