We all want to be productive in our life, right ? Yet, a great number of writers waste a lot of time doing unnecessary things .

Productivity is important in our life : the ability to do more in less time is what make us successful and happy .

Today, I’m going to give you 5 great advices I’ve learned from other experts on how to be a productive writer :

1st. Get Away From Distractions :

Distractions are everywhere : TV, Social networks, Your kids playing and screaming around…

If you want to write great content quickly, stay focused, you should find a way to stop all those things that “distracts” you . Just get away from them, they’re bad, they will hurt you .

You should really try everything you can to escape from those ditractions : Go to a calm place, Switch off your WiFi…etc .

2nd. Use Technology For Your Favor :

Most of writers out there use tools to make their workflow easier, but the problem is that they only use the known one like Word and Google Drive . We’re in the 21st century, and there’s a huge number of apps out there that help you manage your time, and become more productive as a person . For writers I’d recommend to use Evernote/Trello for taking notes and handle your tasks.

For writing, you can always stick with the big names (Word, Drive, OpenOffice…). I’m also working on an app called Wryterr to give writers a faster way to write, save & share your drafts, organize your ressources & capture your inspirations as they happen . Currently we’re building a waiting list, you can join and get a 10 day trial, check it out, you’ve nothing to loose !

3rd. Read…. A Lot :

There’s an arabic belief that our brains eat books . Really, reading can make you a perfect writer, better, a perfect person .

Books are a way for us to learn new experiences, it’s a way to build our minds & personalities . The more books you read, the more you get comfortable with the vocabulary, therfore you can find shorter words instead of writing long sentences and wasting your time .

Remember that quality is not quantity : short meaningful sentences are WAY better than long boring repetetive sentences .

But how can you write shorter & more useful content ?

One Word : Read .

4th. Learn Art:

Trust me on this one, learning Art can be one of the best thing you can ever do, and by Art I mean any form of it : Music, Painting… .

Writing is an art, and the best way to learn an art, is to learn another form of art, Why ? Beceause with it you will see things in a different, deeper, more powerful way. You will be able to express your ideas quickly and more effectively .

5th. Run, Writer, Run :

Good work only happens if we are in a good shape ! Jogging has been proved since centuries that it’s the best way to keep your body healthy .

Some benefits of jogging :

Running improves sleep .

Stronger bones .

Mental health improvements .

More positive energy for the whole day.
