How to Stop Procrastinating When You Write The Creatrix Journey
-
- Self-Improvement
This week, I will be talking about how to stop procrastinating when you write. Last week we covered how to start writing creatively, and this week is about when you're physically or mentally stuck on creating a writing project.
Many of us have been there staring at a blank page or a laptop or desktop thinking, I just don’t know where to start. Or you start scrolling on social media or going down a Google rabbit, warren. So this episode is about how to get you on track. I promise you, once you get started, everything becomes easier.
Here are the highlights:
(01:27) Don’t be scared
(02:47) Make a mind map
(03:51) Use a timer
(04:41) Do a brain dump
(05:10) Aim for an imperfect draft
