1Harlan Coben believes that if you're a writer, you'll find the time; and that if you can't find the time, then writing isn't a priority and you're not a writer.
主干主语：Harlan Coben；谓语：believes；宾语：两个由 that 引导的宾语从句
结构主句后接两个并列的 that 宾语从句，由分号和 and 连接。每个 that 从句内部又含 if 条件状语从句：第一个 if 后接 you'll find the time；第二个 if 后接 then 引出的并列结果（isn't a priority 与 you're not a writer）。整体是“主谓+双宾语从句+嵌套条件”结构。
译文哈兰·科本认为：如果你是作家，你就会挤出时间；如果你挤不出时间，那写作就不是你的优先事项，你也就算不上作家。
考点并列 that 宾语从句可共用一个谓语 believes · if 条件从句与 then 结果并列，强调逻辑推断
2Depending on your __10__ and your lifestyle, that might mean spending less time watching television or listening to music, though some people can write __11__ they listen to music.
主干主语：that；谓语：might mean；宾语：spending less time...
结构句首 Depending on... 为现在分词短语作条件状语。主句 that might mean + 动名词短语 spending... 作宾语；watching/listening 为 less time 的后置修饰。though 引导让步状语从句，其中 __11__ 处常为 while/as 一类时间连接，修饰 write。
译文这取决于你的情况和生活方式，可能意味着少看电视或少听音乐——尽管有些人可以边听音乐边写作。
考点mean doing：意味着做某事 · though 让步从句可置于句末，补充例外情况
3There's just one thing you should try to keep at least some time for, __16__ your writing—and that's reading.
主干主语：one thing；谓语：There is（存在句）；同位/补充：that's reading
结构There be 存在句，one thing 后接省略关系代词的定语从句 you should try to keep...for。__16__ your writing 多为 besides/apart from 一类介词短语作插入状语。破折号后 and that's reading 对 one thing 作补充说明，相当于同位。
译文只有一件事你至少该留出一点时间——除了写作之外——那就是阅读。
考点keep time for：为……留出时间 · 破折号后 that's... 回指并点明 one thing
4We need to use it as carefully and as __19__ as we can, that means prioritising our activities so that we spend most time on the things we really want to do.
主干主语：We；谓语：need to use；宾语：it；后一分句主语：that；谓语：means
结构前半 as carefully and as...as we can 为并列同等比较结构修饰 use。逗号后 that means... 为补充说明（口语中常用逗号连接）。prioritising... 为动名词作 means 的宾语；so that 目的状语从句中再套定语从句 we really want to do 修饰 things。
译文我们需要尽可能谨慎、高效地使用时间，这意味着给各项活动排好优先级，把大部分时间花在真正想做的事情上。
考点as...and as...as we can 并列同等比较 · so that 引导目的状语从句
