The Psychology of Deadline Addiction—Why We Get Hooked and How to Break Free

Monday, February 17, 2025 • Duration 15:24

Do you only write when there’s a deadline looming? Do you procrastinate until the last minute, relying on pressure to get words on the page—only to feel exhausted afterward?

In this episode, I dive into the psychology of deadline addiction—why so many writers depend on external deadlines, how fear and perfectionism fuel this cycle, and what happens when we train ourselves to only write under stress. But here’s something most people don’t realise: learning to write without deadlines isn’t just about productivity—it’s about healing your relationship with writing.

You’ll learn:

How perfectionism and fear keep you trapped in last-minute writing.
The hidden cost of relying on adrenaline to finish projects.
The first mindset shifts and practical steps to rewiring your brain.

If you’ve ever thought, “I can only write when there’s a deadline”, this episode will help you understand why—and give you the tools to finally break free.

Missed Part 1?

This episode is part of a two-part series on deadline dependency. Listen to Episode 1: Why Deadlines Hold You Back—and How to Take Control to learn how to shift from deadline addiction to sustainable writing habits.

Facing Fear and Finding Calm in Your Writing

Monday, February 10, 2025 • Duration 07:10

Are you avoiding a piece of writing because it feels emotionally overwhelming or tied to something deeply personal?

In this episode which is another Write Walk, I take you on a reflective journey through my garden—a safe, grounding space where I confront my own fears and resistance to writing a high-stakes piece.

You’ll hear how a few moments in nature helped me:

Calm my nervous system and process the emotions behind my writing blocks.
Shift from overthinking to taking action, even when the task felt daunting.
Discover clarity and motivation to complete a project I’d been avoiding for weeks.

By the end, I invite you to reflect on your own unwritten projects and explore the emotions holding you back. Whether it’s a book, article, or poem, you’ll find inspiration to step outside, take a breath, and reconnect with your writing.

6 Minute Meditation for Writers: Find Peace in a Healing Forest

Monday, February 3, 2025 • Duration 06:12

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your creativity? In this special guided meditation and visualisation, I’ll take you on a calming journey to a serene forest.

We will enter healing space where you can release stress, reset your nervous system, and reconnect with your inner wisdom.

This 6-minute meditation helps you:

Relax your body and calm your nervous system.
