Audrey Hughey is a planner creator, author, and productivity expert who specializes in helping writers stay organized and achieve their publishing goals. After struggling to balance writing with raising toddlers, attending school, and freelance work, she created comprehensive author planners that have become essential tools for thousands of writers. Her planners are known for being ADHD-friendly and providing "monthly coaching" through structured goal-setting and review processes. Audrey combines principles from project management, entrepreneurship, and productivity science to create systems that help authors plan their entire year holistically—integrating writing goals with life commitments, energy cycles, and personal well-being.In this episode:The crisis moment that led to creating author-specific planning tools during NaNoWriMoWhy holistic planning (integrating life and writing) is more effective than isolated goal-settingThe "brain dump" technique for overcoming overwhelm and functional freezeHow to identify and work with your personal energy cycles and "fallow periods"Breaking large projects into achievable "pebbles" for consistent progressThe 90-day commitment rule for testing new productivity systemsMonthly review practices that function as affordable coaching alternativesTime blocking and realistic word count planning for busy authorsWhy authentic, meaningful goals matter more than borrowed aspirationsBuilding cues, triggers, and habits that support consistent writing practiceResources mentioned:The Author's Planner seriesVirtual writing retreatsMonthly Writing Focus PlannersGrowth Day appFemale Entrepreneurship AssociationPomodoro TechniqueBook recommendations:The Ritualist by Dakota CroweSix Habits of Growth by Brendon BurchardAtomic Habits by James ClearConnect with Audrey:Website: www.audreyhughey.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/thewriteservicesInstagram: www.instagram.com/thewriteservicesSign Up to Audrey’s Newsletter: https://bit.ly/authorweeklyConnect with Teddy Smith:@teddyagsmithWebsite: https://publishingperformance.com/?ref=ywm3mtcFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/publishingperformance/Pinterest - https://nz.pinterest.com/publishingperformance/Instagram - https://instagram.com/publishingperformanceinstaYoutube -https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHV6ltaUB4SULkU6JEMhFSwLinkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/company/publishing-performance/ Support the showDiscover More with Our Curated Starter Packs: https://teddyagsmith.com/starter-packs/
