Getting Back Into Longer Working Hours

Longer Working Hours. Jill Kemerer. Blog

As you might have noticed, I didn’t blog much this summer. I never do. I like to loosen up my schedule during the summer to read on my deck, take long walks and just enjoy life!

Now that September is here, I’m transitioning to longer working hours.

Last week I added my late-afternoon work block (I call it Block 3) back into my schedule. I write, plot or revise from late morning to late afternoon. Then I switch gears. I spend another hour or two working on marketing, business planning, continuous education, etc… You can learn more about my process in “Get More Done with a Plan.”

GUARDING HIS SECRET is book 3 in my Wyoming Ranchers series, and it’s also the sixth book in Love Inspired’s K-9 Companion series. I’m super excited about this book!

Randy and Hannah have been friends for years. When his brother has to leave town due to an emergency, Randy asks Hannah to run his store while he takes care of the family ranch. But his brother returns with a secret baby, throwing all their lives into chaos. Add a rambunctious puppy and a retired service dog who seems to see right through Randy’s own secrets, and it will be a summer to remember!

Top 3 Reasons I Start Skimming a Book

3 top reasons skimming book, jill kemerer

I love to read. Nonfiction, novels, articles, anything really. They’re all good! But, naturally, some are better than others. Or maybe those particular books just aren’t hitting me at the right time or when I’m in the right mood. Who knows?

I typically give a book 50-75 pages to get into it. If I find myself wanting to read one more page to see what happens, it’s a winner. If I’m okay with setting it down but know I’ll pick it up again soon, it’s still a winner. If I feel completely ambivalent or even hostile to a book, I give up on it.

Sometimes I’m initially engaged with a story but at some point, I’m just no longer connecting with it. That’s when I start skimming.
