Well, not really – you just sit and type for a while. Sometimes interesting ideas come out, in theory at least. I have been trying to keep a diary as well, and it is going no better at all!
It all boils down to time-management: making the time to do what is important.
The last couple of weeks I have been feeling very out of control with my time, especially at work. Then, when I got home I just collapsed into a heap and steeled myself against the coming day.
