🔪 How to permanently kill the procrastination dementors to write everyday

Hello espresso lovers!

Imagine this.

You have a burning desire to write.

Yet, every time you sit down to write, those demons of procrastination manage to creep in.

So you say to yourself:

“I WILL START WRITING TOMORROW”

But guess what? That tomorrow never comes.

And just like that, 6 months have passed by and you’re still dreaming of starting a daily writing habit.

Well, you’re not alone.

I went through this state too (although not for 6 months). So let me show you how I overcame this.

Warming up before your start your writing sesh

Remember those gym days (or the thought of them, at least)?

You wouldn't just jump straight into a 5k run without warming up. Why treat your brain any differently? Pre-writing acts as a delightful stretch for your creative muscles.

It readies your mind, eases you into the process, and helps avoid the strain of writer's block.

Here are some warm-up techniques I used that worked wonders for me:

1. Mind Mapping or Brainstorming.

• Begin with a blank canvas, be it paper or digital.

• Let your thoughts wander. Jot down anything and everything without any judgement.

• Link related ideas.

This helps in forming a structured story or argument.

This technique does wonders in letting your thoughts flow organically.

Not only do you overcome the initial friction, but you might just stumble upon an angle you hadn’t considered.

2. Outlining or Drafting Ahead of Time

• Identify the core ideas or themes you want to cover.

• Create a flow, ensuring one point seamlessly leads to the next.

• Think of anecdotes, quotes, or data to sprinkle in.

With a roadmap in hand, you know exactly where to head next. It’s like having a GPS for your writing journey – you won’t get lost in the overwhelming world of ideas.

3. Keeping a Reservoir of Ideas: Be Always Prepared

• Carry a Notebook: Old school, but it works! Or if you're more digitally inclined...

• Use Note-taking Apps: Tools like Notion can be lifesavers.

• Immediate Jotting: Whenever an idea strikes, record it.

Think of it as your treasure chest of sparks. Whenever you feel devoid of ideas, just open it up. It’s reassuring to know that you have a bank of inspiration to fall back on.

Remember, every writer, whether a novice or a seasoned one, has faced the menacing glare of a blank page.

It’s not about how often you face writer's block but about the strategies you employ to bulldoze through it.

With these pre-writing techniques in your arsenal, you're set to make writing a delightful daily ritual.

And that’s it.

You're now set for consistent writing sessions, day in and day out.

But what about consistent earning?
