5 Ways to Write More, Faster, and with Less Stress
This week on Hit Publish, host Amy Harrison is talking momentum and productivity tricks. If you’ve ever found that things get in the way of your flow when you write and wish you could get more out of your writing time, this episode is for you.
On a previous show, Amy looked at how you could create content consistently, even when life gets in the way. Well, since then, a listener wrote a Dear Amy letter and asked about how to make actual writing time more productive.
Amy has struggled more than once to stay focused when she has a content creation project to do, but she’s found some workarounds to keep her on track.
Tune in to this episode of Hit Publish to find out:
- Why you should expect (nay, embrace) overwhelm and then use this one rule to show it who’s really boss (answer: you are)
- How ticking things off gives your writing simple momentum and is as addictive as popping bubble wrap
- What a “sticky thoughts” pad is, and why every writer should have one
- How to avoid “Writer’s Eye,” which can slow you down and cause you to make mistakes

Solar Impulse 2 Puts Solar Technology in the Spotlight
The solar technology was news lately, and it’s easy to see why. It is a fascinating topic that homeowners and business owners are of similar interest, mainly because of their ability to save money. Perhaps the reason the news of the Solar Impulse 2 landed in Hawaii and the establishment of a register is so compelling.
About the Solar Impulse 2
The Solar Impulse 2 is a solar airplane that departed from Nagoya, Japan, on June 28 The pilot, André Borschberg, sailed the plan for a period of five days, as he headed to Hawaii. After flying at an average speed of about 38 miles per hour and sometimes go as high as 28,000 feet, the plane landed on Oahu July 3rd The aircraft took nearly 118 hours flying about 4,500 miles away, a new record for the longest nonstop flight solar energy. The trip also set a record for the longest solo flight.
The key to success of the aircraft
Several key factors contributed to the ability of the Solar Impulse 2 to complete the flight and set records. One of them was just saving energy, through solar technology. The solar aircraft has 17,000 solar cells on board, providing enough energy for tripping both day and night, reaching a top speed of 87 miles per hour. The aircraft was able to fly at night because the sun’s energy is captured and stored in batteries. To save power, the aircraft was flying at a lower altitude and speed overnight.
Of course, the pilot had to be as difficult as the plane, and he did not disappoint. Borschberg spent nearly five days in the air, resting only 20 minutes at a time. He also had to deal with a cabin that has been reached several times to 100 degrees, and was forced to also use supplemental oxygen. I had to sit in your seat all the time, and it was not a permanent option. Fortunately, he had previously taken yoga, which he helped his body and mind during the long flight.
The future of this solar plan
Despite record, the Solar Impulse 2 is not done, and Borschberg is not the only driver to participate in this important event. His co-pilot, Bertrand Piccard plans to fly the plane to Phoenix, Arizona, next. The journey will take about 100 hours. The ultimate goal is to conclude the tour of the aircraft in the world in Abu Dhabi. The last stage is scheduled to take place in the fall, but can be delayed, considering the trip to Hawaii a couple of weeks due to bad weather delayed. This trip was the eighth of the 13 legs.
If you’re intrigued by the flight log Solar Impulse 2 know that you can also take advantage of the sun’s energy to power your home or business. Contact a solar company in your area today, if you are willing to put solar technology to use to your advantage.
