Write Like There’s No Tomorrow. Then Edit

I must confess that I used to do this mistake. When trying to write an essay or article, I would stop every few seconds to edit the last sentence. Often times I would also go back to the beginning and read the whole piece before writing further.

\n

I just wanted each word and phrase to be perfect before going forward. The result, however, was a very inefficient writing method.

\n

What would be a superior approach? Simple, write like there’s no tomorrow, and edit it later. Now a days I have a rule to never hit the backspace while I am on writing mode. It is difficult to get used to it, but once you get that flow you’ll be able to ignore even the typos.

\n

Not that you shouldn’t care for them, but you don’t want the typos interfering with your creative ideas. First, get everything that is in your mind into the computer screen. Afterwards you can correct grammatical mistakes and edit the structure of the sentences.

It looks like an easy trick, but it can do wonders to improve your productivity. If you want more tips on how to focus on the writing part, read “How to Bypass Your Internal Editor.”
