5 / The Habit of Writing
Writing at the end of a long list of tasks – no fixed deadline
“I can’t find the time for writing….”
“I have no energy for writing…”
![Page 24: Writing for Publication Dr. Mark Matthews Student Learning Development](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081504/56649cc25503460f949898e9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
10 ways to not write
1. Open your email at the start of the day and never quit it.2. Keep your writing goals quite general.3. Don’t talk about your writing-in-progress.4. Only seek feedback when you have a full draft.5. Don’t write unless you know exactly what you want to say.6. Wait till you’re ready to write.7. Don’t bother defining sub-goals – you know what you have
to do.8. Don’t bother with the 5-minute warm up for writing -- you
know what to do.9. Always write in large chunks of time.10. Try and find more time for writing.
