A study from Texas A & M University found that plants increase productivity and creativity by up to 30 percent!
I'm pretty bad with plants. Mainly because I forget they're there. But the study also shows that plants also help reduce headaches and fatigue so maybe I should give this a try!
Some other things I've learned to be more productive are posted in my blog post: "Write Like You're Hair's On Fire!" They include things like using the planner I designed to keep my writing life organized. You can get your own copy here: Karla's Writer's Planner.
In addition to my planner, I keep a desk calendar dedicated only to my writing. It includes my deadlines, blog topics, and word counts in addition to my planner. Because I have a touch of ADD, I need to double up on my reminders.

My goals for 2014 are:
- Stand more. If I'm on the phone, I'm going to stand and walk.
- Say "no" more. This is a hard one for me.
- Have more fun. Another hard one for me. But I'm determined!
- Watch more movies.
- My two words for 2014: Courage and Grace.
My 2014 Theme is Glorify God! Be Bold! Take Risks! My goals include *self-publish the mss. I have ready to go. *Find ways to surprise my husband. *Start a local writers support group. *Plan a very big church celebration for families and praying in the New Year of 2015. Spend more time outdoors.
