1. Take Notes of Ideas Daily to Be Productive
Remember that good ideas do not come right in the process of writing, but from your daily experience and contemplation.
Judging from this, writing is the process of organizing these ideas using style and techniques.
Therefore, it is important to write them down shortly in 1 or 2 words or phrases. It will help you develop them when you have time. Use your phone apps for taking notes at night, during a walk, or at any moment when a brilliant idea strikes you. Evidently, it is a 5-10-minute process. You can use sticky notes as an alternative to smart phone notes.
