In the article below, AWAI Success Heather Robson (turned popular AWAI instructor!) is here to not only share what it is … but walk you through making it work for you.

By Mindy McHorse According to a UC Irvine study from just a few years ago, it takes an average of 23 minutes to refocus your writing mind after an interruption.
