Something about the winter months makes my productivity level sink like hit pirate ship. I find myself wasting more time, sulking and doing a general lot of nothing when I could be writing. As a rule, I have held myself accountable to be a fairly productive person; I have a ton of planners, I enjoy organizing my time, and I genuinely enjoy working. But even the most work-driven person can lag on their productivity and if you have the type of job that requires you to set your own schedule, it’s much easier to fall into the trap of not getting things done.
