I love your cozy hooded loungewear. That looks perfect. And owing two is the WAY TO GO. Re productivity -- I had some good luck blocking out a couple hours in the morning to really buckle down and get to writing. I wouldn't set a word count goal for myself, just a time goal, but for 2 hours or whatever I'd tell myself that all I was going to do was look at my open document and type words into it. I usually found myself getting into a pretty good flow state after a while, where I wanted to work even beyond the time I'd set for myself. I'm so glad I'll get to see you at Love Y'all!
I read a...I don't know, a tumblr post that got screenshotted for instagram or whatever...about how Terry Pratchett would write just 400 words a day, but he did it every day. But we don't need to aspire to Pratchett-like volume! Halve it! I found that very inspiring, because if you sit down and say "I only have to write 200 words" you can be done in 20 minutes or you can say "I'm in the groove, I'll keep going!" and do a bunch more and either way you met your goal.
I’m cozy in my blanket hoodie, and now looking forward to Marry My Husband and May 14. Glad to have these comforts to revel in for the year.
