Alternative form of timesuck..

Goofing off? Writing when the spirit moves you? That’s one vision of it—and a sure prescription for failure. Early on, I became hyper-vigilant about my time and how I used it. I realized soon that interviews, hours in the library, and other research took as much time as the writing itself, and that time-sucks and distractions loomed everywhere.
