Writing Days

Writing days should be every day if you are a freelance writer or a creative writer hoping to get published. All too often things get in the way of our writing days and we end up producing very little. If we have a deadline to meet then this can often mean that we are sat up most of the night trying to get the work finished and keep our clients satisfied. If you are a writer what do you do to keep your writing days off limits to other people's problems (especially if they could sort them out by themselves)?
