On Choosing Where to Put Your Time and Your Focus

Posted on January 25, 2019March 17, 2019 by Nicole Dieker

Today I gave the time I usually spend writing this post to something both more urgent and more important.

I’m also pretty sure I gave away the brainspace I’d have used to write it, ’cause right now I only have the mental energy for administrative work (luckily, The Billfold always has plenty of that).

See you Monday. ❤️

I’ve been a full-time freelance writer since 2012. My work regularly appears at Lifehacker, Bankrate, Vox, Haven Life, and numerous other sites. I spent five years as a writer and editor for The Billfold, a personal finance blog where people had honest conversations about money.

I also teach writing, freelancing, and publishing classes (including online classes), and work one-on-one with authors as a developmental editor and copyeditor.

My debut novel, The Biographies of Ordinary People, Volume 1: 1989–2000, published in May 2017; The Biographies of Ordinary People, Volume 2: 2004–2016 followed in May 2018. The two books are a Millennial-era Little Women that follow three sisters from childhood to adulthood.
