How to build a daily writing habithttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍️" title="Schreibende Hand" aria-label="Emoji: Schreibende Hand">

Here are the three things I did to develop my writing habit

1. Make writing your default action

2. Make 3 notes every day

3. Schedule one hour time block for writing every day

1. Writing as your default action https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💻" title="Computer" aria-label="Emoji: Computer">

For most of us, the default action in front of our laptop is mindless internet browsing

You want to change this to writing

Whenever you got free time, open your writing app and start writing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍️" title="Schreibende Hand" aria-label="Emoji: Schreibende Hand">

“But what should I write about?”

Write about what you readhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📚" title="Bücher" aria-label="Emoji: Bücher">

Open your idea storage(e.g. Pocket, Instapaper and Notion) and read 1-3 articles/videos you saved

Make some highlights https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts"> Write about what you learned or thought

2. Make 3 notes a day https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📝" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">

Rather than trying to write like 1000 words a day, aim to make 3 notes (evergreen/permanent notes) a day

Read the articles/books you saved and write about 3 things learned

3. Schedule a time slot dedicated for writing https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📆" title="Abreißkalender" aria-label="Emoji: Abreißkalender">

I always schedule at least an hour for writing every day

By making a dedicated time just for writing, you give yourself no options but to write

Don’t rely on to-do lists. Use time blocking instead! https://twitter.com/shuomi3/status/1292971554041556992">https://twitter.com/shuomi3/s...
