strategies to overcome obstacles to writing

What strategies can I developed to overcome obstacles to writing?

[Reflecting back I want to call them: "the enemies of writing" ... maybe that should be in all caps and boldface:  THE ENEMIES OF WRITING!]

okay, so this is a link to what I wrote before.

But I think you have to look at them one at a time and try and develop strategies for them individually, because in some ways they are forces that work in opposition to one another. And in the end, I have to work at them one at a time to readjust my habits, to readjust my psyche. I think I am not going to go with them in order, however.

 New rules:

• no email until after the writing session is done
• coffee before the writing session starts
• if the dirty dishes are in the sink, they can be washed, but no other household chores – so try to wash them before going to bed.

New project: 

• use some of my writing time early on in this process to redefine my writing tasks. Which tasks are part of writing, which tasks are not part of writing? Determining how to allocate the amount of writing time that I have as part of the writing block.
