3 Things I Do Not Do While Writing

An article is only "complete" once it is finished and
delivered to the reader.

If it remains unfinished,
it is synonymous with "not having written it at all."

Therefore, until you finish writing,
just focus on the writing itself.

It is a very simple
yet important mindset.

The theme for this post is
"3 things I do not do while writing".

An unfinished work is the same as one that does not exist.

The above way of thinking is a truth.

To that end, it is essential
"not to engage in actions that hinder writing" is
indispensable.

This time,
I would like to share with you
the3 actions that I
absolutely do not do when I am actually writing.

"Oh, I get it!"
"Huh, is that so!"
"That was unexpected!!"

I hope that
by comparing these to your own writing process,
you can find some new discoveries.

Well then, let's get started (^^♪

✔ 3 things I do not do
　 while writing

I will talk about the
3 things I do not do while writing.

1. Keeping my smartphone nearby
2. Worrying
3. Sitting for too long

These are the actions.

I will explain in detail.

1. Keeping my smartphone nearby

The act that most hinders writing work is, quite simply, "touching my smartphone."
touching my smartphone

We tend to want to touch our smartphones without thinking.

SNS notifications, the latest news, watching videos, and so on...

Just by touching your smartphone, you can feel like you've had a meaningful time and indulge in self-satisfaction.

And at the same time, your precious time melts away like water.

The same goes for the time you dedicate to writing.

Hasn't everyone had the experience of touching their phone for just a moment and thinking, "Oh my, an hour or two has passed in the blink of an eye!"?

That is precisely why I do not keep my smartphone on the desk where I write.

No, to put it more accurately, I do not keep my smartphone in the room where I write.

I make it a point to leave it in the charging spot in the kitchen before I start writing.

Just thinking that "my smartphone is nearby" takes up valuable space in my brain.

To prevent that from happening, I do not keep my smartphone nearby.

2. Worrying

It is fine until the moment you take action and think, "Now, I will write."

I make sure not to have time where I
worry about "what should I write?"

I am thorough about not bringing the act of
"worrying" into my writing process.

This is because if I worry while writing,
I fall into perfectionism.

Yes, I start comparing myself to others💦

The idea that "worrying equals seeking the ideal"
leads to issues with the quality of the article.

Certainly,
in the sense of providing information that satisfies readers,
it is important to "worry" to some extent.

What I mean is,
do not bring "worrying" into the writing process.

The time to worry iswhen thinking of topics and ideas.

My style is not to bring the act of "worrying"
into the moment when I say, "Now, I'm going to write."

If you worry and your actual writing stops,
it defeats the whole purpose.

That is why I do not worry while writing.

3. Sitting for too long

Until an article is finished, I avoid
"sitting for a long time"
as a state.

While writing, I make sure
to stand up at every opportunity.

For example,
when I finish writing one chapter.
When I attach a photo.
When I go to the restroom (obviously😓)

At those times, I stand up from my chair
and break the cycle of sitting for too long.

This may be a biased opinion, but
there might be opinions like "sit and write until it's finished."

But,

isn't that painful...

is my honest feeling.

After all,
sitting for a long time is tough.

Including taking breaks,
I feel that actively getting up from the chair
and adding movement to things other than the brain
makes subsequent writing work much more creative.

At the very least, by avoiding the parallel state of just sitting,
change is created, and it leads to regaining the feeling of
"I want to write again!"

I recommend it✨

Today,
"3 things I don't do while writing"was shared with everyone.

Among the three actions, the one I place particular importance on is
"not keeping my smartphone nearby."

I mean, really...

The temptation of my smartphone is
unreal💦

Don't touch it! Don't touch it!

Even when I tell myself that in my head, before I know it, I'm
touching it.

Just having my phone in my line of sight makes me
unconsciously pick it up and fiddle with it.

And then, time just vanishes.

It's scary, isn't it? (;°-°;)))

That is precisely why,

I abso-lutely!

do not keep my phone nearby.
(This will be on the test!)

I hope you find this helpful.

Aside from the
"things I don't do while writing" that I introduced,
if you have any other opinions,
I would be very happy if you could send me a comment.

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.
