The stragey the Dr. McCoy taught us was simple but beneficial, it was to do my writing in ten-minute increments. I never knew how much I was actually able to do in short time with no distractions. When I wake up my mind is clear, so this strategy helps out a lot then. These are some of the strategies that helped my
