I find that I don’t really fit into the typical (if there is such a thing) writing pattern. I never use outlines. In fact, when I was in school and had to turn in an outline for an upcoming paper, I’d write the paper first and then make the outline from the paper, just so I’d have something to turn in. I also always edit as I go…I can’t leave a paragraph I’m not happy with.

Usually. Unless I ignore the “ding” and keep writing. In which case I reset the timer, and place it out of reach so I’m forced to step away from the computer and turn it off.

When I get stuck in perfectionism, I write nonsense, something like…”This is terrible but it doesn’t matter keep going the words will come” until I hook back into whatever I’m writing. The trick is not to stop and think. Just keep pounding away on the keyboard.

Tom, that could be a good way to do it.

I always use stopwatch, with a countdown of 50 minutes. Then I take a 10 minute break, and repeat the process.

Working this way boosts my concentration and output immensely.
