How to Find Time to Write When Your Schedule Is Already Full (with Lissa Figgins)
Fri Jan 09 2026
You don’t need more hours. You need your time to finally work for you.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Lissa Figgins, a scaling strategist for busy Christian women business owners, to talk about the lie most writers are quietly carrying: “I don’t have time right now.”
We get honest about what’s actually happening when writing keeps getting pushed back—even when you’re already productive, capable, and serious about finishing. Lissa breaks down why “time management” keeps failing high-achieving women and why time stewardship changes everything.
This conversation is for the writer who’s already doing a lot… but knows her book should be further along by now.
We talk about:
Why being busy isn’t the real problem
How to stop letting distractions decide when you write
What it looks like to create a realistic, distraction-proof writing plan
How to write consistently without waiting for a perfect schedule
If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll focus on your book after things slow down—this episode is your interruption.
