I've created a list. I'm calling it the 210 List. I'm hoping to cross everything off it in 2010 and in the process, change my life.

Progress on The Sandy Method

Well, contrary to my wonderful and hardly thought out plan, the play didn't get written in one weekend. 30 pages of it did get written, and now has been edited back to 20 pages.

So while the Sandy Method hasn't been the roaring success that it promisd itself to be, it wasn't exactly a complete failure either.

What did I find out by applying the Sandy Method?

That it is extremely possible to write a 1,000 words an hour, it's finding the hours that are free of distractions.

It terrifies me how easily I succumb to distraction. The slightest thing - a bird, a TV in the background, THE INTERNET, can completely rip me away from the task at hand.

What is worse is that I don't know how to get better at it. I'm sure there are like brain training exercises that improve concentration. Are there? Is this an actual thing, or am I just being lazy?

Stay tuned for answers to these things and much, much more.
