Quiet Time Tips

Quiet time improves productivity, improves focus and sets limits of tolerance on co-workers. But then a well-meant quiet time does have a habit of crossing over to cold vibes. But the benefit of doubt should go to the hermit.
I know some very successful communicators, those who have sent one protégé after another to senior editorial positions.

A social setting is a sure-fire way of turning writer's block into a grinding millstone, or even a slick guillotine. I've struggled so many times to move from subject to verb, let alone end the sentence with the object.

My Quiet Time tips for aspiring writers?

1. Set aside two hours every day. Don't set a fixed time because you never know when an idea will hit you.
2. Made your work style clear to team-mates in order to avoid unsavoury incidents or silence being misconstrued as snobbery.
3. Ensure that the team knows that the silence is for the good of the team.
4. Share your output with the team after the Quiet Time.
5. Use the In / Out tag for the team to know when you are Away.
