When you’re stuck, ask yourself: what’s the simplest, worst version of this I can whip out in 15 minutes? • Free-flow shitty first draft of a blog post • 5-slide presentation with no design flourish • Messy project mindmap in your notebook Put a timer on and give it a try :)
@neuranne You've won a follow from me with this tweet 😌
@neuranne Anyone know if this works for overwhelm unrelated to writing? Like facing mountains of paperwork, life's bigger problems, etc
@neuranne Last time I did this it got published in a popular publication on Medium. I wrote it in one go as an off-the-cuff rant. It was published with zero changes. The process works. *looks innocent*
@neuranne This is exactly why the pomodoro technique works so well. 👍
@neuranne Great advice, when I am really stuck a scrappy brain dump with a pen and paper
@neuranne They say work smart not hard. But first you have to work fast.
