As I mentioned last week, I’ll be sharing some writing shortcuts that work for me. Both professional writers and those that must (but don’t like to) write can benefit.
Get Great Copy Shortcut #2
Can’t face the writing task in front of you? Besides making sure you have enough rest and proper nutrition, shake off writing fatigue by doing something other than writing for a brief period of time. Thirty minutes to an hour is all it takes. Talk a walk, mow the lawn, do yoga, strength train, read fiction. Whatever refreshes and renews you personally will help take your mind off the task at hand. Then, when you come back to your work, you should find (as I do) that the words come more naturally, easily and quickly. (Oh, and tell the boss I said a 30-minute break is okay now and then.)
