Writing articles would probably be one of the chores that takes the most time. So, I have outlined below a short list of techniques that might be useful in helping you write faster.
Take Your Time Before Starting To Write
Don't just start writing from the word go. A few days before you plan to start writing, spend a few minutes to flesh out the main points of your article. That will start your unconscious mind thinking about it and by the time you are ready to sit down and write, the words will flow effortlessly.
Have A Deadline
Nature abhors a vacuum. Similarly, the time that you need to complete a writing project automatically increases to fill the time available. So, by setting a deadline, you reduce the time available for a project, and the time you need to complete it. But do be reasonable and don't set too tight a deadline or your work will suffer.
Practice Makes Perfect
I know you have heard it many times before but practice really does make perfect. Writing, whether it is an article, or a novel, or a screen play, is a skill much like cycling or skateboarding. The more you do it, the better you get. And for article writing, the better you are, the faster you can finish an article.
Don't Be A Perfectionist
Your article does not to be perfect. And not being perfect is also not an excuse for shoddy work. You just have to be mindful that there has to be a balance between a well written article that is finished comparatively fast, and a perfect article that takes forever to write.
Read Other Similar Articles
If it has already been done, why do it again, right? Writing an article from scratch is never easy and it helps to read other similar articles which you have written. You can, of course, do a search on the web too. It really helps you to flesh out the article. But when you st down and write your article, do remember not to borrow from other articles that you have read, but to write something that is uniquely your own.
Conclusion
If you find that you are taking forever just to finish one article, the tips above will certainly help. I can recall a time when I would take days to complete just one article, and nowadays, I can finish one within one or two hours. And the tips above have certainly helped me to achieve this.
