"pick a system, and stick to it —" Hey Chris. Very good observations on your part, most of which I agree. I feel the same way about having short writing sessions that have to be cut short, for other more normal pursuits. Designating days for nothing but writing works great. But honestly, I don't have the will power on most of those non-writing days, to not write. LOL. Now, with a focus on short promo stories that contain Just the Highlights, I can use shorter writing sessions for short stories that I can crank out in a small span of time. On the designated writing days (Sunday and Wednesdays), I can get loads of writing and publishing done. Thanks for your smart evaluations :-)
