“System makes you more productive.”

We all do writing but to make our writing more effective we have to make a system for writing.

Writing is a beautiful time which you spend with your pen,diary,thoughts and ideas.

I have been writing since 2019 and when I do write I completely indulge myself into it.I don’t know when this hobby turned into passion.

Someday I have come to realize that I’m doing writing but not in a systematic manner.After reading many articles of great authors,I have come to realize that one has to create a system for their writing,so I do.

I created a system for my writing which I want to share with all readers and writers.

#1. Come out with the ideas: For writing, the foremost thing which is very important is “IDEAS”.In human brain daily 60000 thoughts come up.But due to an autopilot mode we missed those ideas.So to be aware for the ideas give fix time and write in your diary whatever comes into your mind and be aware for your ideas.

#2. Don’t think all day,sit and give 100% to your idea(Mindfulness):

The state of mind when you are completely focused on your present task.Everyone has their own way to relax themselves for some it’s music,taking naps,going for a walk,talking on phones,chit chatting with friends and many more.But for me listening music and thinking about my idea.Music gives me complete calmness and stillness to my brain.

During that time I will get the clarity of my idea and can write more and more on that topic.

Try to control your mind as the Buddha said,”We all have monkey minds.”

If you will not control your mind it will go here and there and you will not be able to concentrate on one thing.

#3.Give fixed day,time,place for your writing: For some people day time place won’t matter for writing.But for me day time place matters.It is also the other part of my system of writing.I used to write two times in a day.One is early morning when my subconscious mind gives me the ideas which are completely new and fresh.At that time i don’t have to think I am in the flow state so I just write,write and write.

In the afternoon I work consciously on that idea and topic.I read other’s articles,I search on Google,I read from the books.I collect the matters and keep them in the proper sequence.This way I collect the material.

#4.Set fixed days for editing and crafting: I decide two days for editing and crafting my work that’s on Wednesday and Friday.

#5.Set fixed days for Publishing: As a slow writer I complete one or two articles in a week so for my writing system I fix one day for publishing an article.Generally I used to publish my article on Saturday morning.

This is my system for writing.You can also create your system for your writing and make your writing more effective and share it with the readers.
