Lynda Kaye Frazier, USA Today Best Selling Author

  Kindle or book?   I will always need both. Will you?      I’ve always been an avid reader. I was never without a book and would read whenever I could. I even have a library of books on CD for long car trips. I love the smell of a book store and the feel of the paper on my fingers as I turned each page. Then I got my kindle and my book shelves got dusty and I had no reason to stop at our local bookstores, or so I thought.      E-readers are amazing. They hold hundreds of books, magazines and newspapers. They fit in your purse and you can buy a new book with just one click. So what's the downfall?   I can’t think of any, can you?   With today’s technology you can turn anything into an e-reader. Your PC, Smartphone, iPod and so on, so what keeps the bookstores thriving?      I know you’re saying to yourself, not everyone has an e-reader.

But there are days when no matter what I did nothing worked out and these days would run into weeks. I had to find out what was robbing me of my time so I made a list. What took up time in my day. Work, eating, cleaning, feeding animals, laundry, e-mail, blogs and sleep. By the time I got home, cleaned up, ate and worked on e-mails I was exhausted. In my head I had hours during the day to write. Why wasn’t it working out in my real life? I found an article and it talked about writing out a time log. Spend a few days and jot down everything you do.   It worked out great and showed me how I was wasting so much time.   So I decided to share. Preparing and writing your time log You don't need to keep writing a time log permanently. It is sufficient to do it for 3-7 days.   When you write a time log, m...
