I'll teach you 3 ways to write a note in 30 minutes

Today, I'm going to teach you how to write a note in a flash!!

I'm probably extremely fast at writing notes.Basically, it takes me about 20-30 minutes.

Yesterday's note took 30 minutes from deciding on the theme to publishing it. (I panicked at 11:30 PM thinking, 'Oh no! The day is almost over!' and wrote it in a rush.)

Today, I'm going to share three methods that I, a fast-note writer—or should I say, a speed-writer—practice!

1. Set a time limit

It's definitely a pressure-based approach.

If you don't set a time, you tend to drag out writing your note, so I recommend preparing a stopwatch or something similar and trying a time attack!

Alternatively, if you're on the move, you can decide, 'I'll write this before I reach this station.' I used to try writing during the 10 minutes it took to get to the station.

Also, if you have a big block of free time, you'll just keep writing, so if possible, it's good to write when you have your next appointment scheduled.

Like before meeting friends or before going to the gym. That way, you'll be forced to finish it.

2. Try updating for 1 week in a row

I won't say a month, but updating for 1 week in a row to lower the hurdle of writing is also recommended!

If you create a situation where you update every day, your mindset will shift to 'I must write a note no matter what,' so you'll gradually get used to writing notes.

Even if it takes about an hour at first, you'll gradually learn where you can cut corners, like 'this is good enough,' and you'll get better at putting things into words, making your writing faster.

This might be an effective method for perfectionists who think, 'I have to make it properly' or 'I have to do it right.'

I also recommend trying the 1-month challenge from my book 'Writing Habits'! (Self-promotion)

3. Write after creating an outline

For those who say, 'I get slow when I write while thinking...', creating an outline in advance will make it much easier to write.

Even if you call it an outline, a simple bulleted list is fine. Give it a temporary title, set temporary headings, and write down the content you want to include.

For this article, it would be...

Something like this. This alone makes what you need to write clear, so all that's left is to write along the outline.It's like a signpost to keep you from getting lost.

You wouldn't start building a house without a blueprint, right? Similarly, it's easier to create a blueprint for your writing first!!!

I wrote this note in 30 minutes too.

So, I wrote this note in the 30 minutes between getting on the train and arriving at my destination!!

What do you think? The quality isn't actually that bad, right???

Well, I couldn't write anything but total crap when I first started, so practicing writing quickly is highly recommended to build up volume.

Let's write a lot and post a lot!
