.@rsidneysmith: good distinction between productive “output” i.e. quantity and productive “effectiveness” i.e. quality writing #prodchat

Q3. What methods do you use to make your writing time productive? #prodchat
-
A2 a combo of writing on the MBAir, printing out drafts for editing and entering edits. [repeat] LOVING http://draftin.com #prodchat
-
@nmhouston So true, Natalie! It either attracts or repels you from your #productivity! cc @profkrg #prodchat
-
-
@michaelmarieks I didn’t know this was your first time.. Welcome! #prodchat
-
Thank you. RT @rsidneysmith: So many great new (to me) prodchatters on today! Welcome, @RajneeshB @michaelmarieks @a_robinson ! #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Thank you! Good to be here 🙂 #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Thank you! Good to be here 🙂 #prodchat
-
@nmhouston I actually think I got this idea from you a looong time ago on some #prodchat discussion.
-
@rsidneysmith A2: For me most productive is my desktop with dual monitors and a full-size keyboard. 🙂 #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith I get the pen thing, for sure! #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud I use OneNote for outlining – I can move stuff around, insert/delete and search it later. Plus share with my team. #prodchat
-
Wow!! Talking in the background doesn’t distract you? I’m going to have to try that!! MT @IsaPinaud: A3 I listen to podcasts… #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith ha, just wrote the same thing then saw your tweet! birds of a feather. #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud A3: I’ve tried podcasts but the words/discussion distract me too much. That’s why I need instrumental music. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Hahaha. We do flock together! :)) And, I am not shocked we’re both fans of @ANNELAMOTT either! #prodchat
-
@a_robinson Oh, it’s great! I’ve used it for proposals, technical bids, and now building out a business idea. #ProdChat
-
+1 “@rsidneysmith: A3. I follow the Anne Lamott method of writing the “shitty first drafts.” #prodchat”
-
@a_robinson It’s made by Literature & Latte. They have a great trial program. It allows side-by-side pages, comments, outlines… #ProdChat
-
@a_robinson here’s an old @ProfHacker piece by @ryancordell on scrivener #prodchat http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/scrivener-scrivening-scriverastic/23026 …
-
@a_robinson … index cards for organizing thoughts. It’s truly fantastic. Definitely worth checking out. Mac and PC! 🙂 #ProdChat
-
@rsidneysmith I’m also a fan of binaural music, definitely feel the difference. #prodchat
-
Thanks!! 🙂 RT @nmhouston: @a_robinson here’s an old @ProfHacker piece by @ryancordell on scrivener #prodchat http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/scrivener-scrivening-scriverastic/23026 …

-
-
@a_robinson It’s also for template type things like proposals. Pick and chose what goes in the final draft. Brilliant!! #ProdChat
-
@IsaPinaud Totally worth trying! 🙂 #ProdChat
-
@IsaPinaud I absent-mindedly sing along to music too. It works for me by engaging a different part of my brain…Ray can explain. 😉 #ProdChat
-
@nmhouston I agree. So much value in reviewing notes! It’s why the Cornell note-taking method prescribes it! :)) #prodchat
-
Q5. How do you schedule your writing time? #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Deadlines help with that. You learn that it’s as good as it can be in the time allotted. #prodchat
-
@a_robinson Never fear! That randomness is actually not so random. Find ways to separate idea generation from organizing! 🙂 #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud Several educators in my life have told me that my first draft was better than my last draft! 😛 #prodchat
-
Blocking out writing time is the best way to get it done. @jrnolan12: A5. Ugh. I wish I did. 5-minute game misconduct for Nolan #prodchat”
-
.@rsidneysmith @a_robinson a great tool for this is @gingkoapp –a card-based brainstorming/outlining.writing app #prodchat
-

-
.@rsidneysmith you’re into something there lists vs organizing thoughts #prodchat
-
@a_robinson I also try to write as much as I can when it’s flowing. #prodchat
-
Q6. How do you guard your writing time from being spent on other things? #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith You are not the only one to have been told tho 😛 #prodchat
-
Wow. You guys are awesome. Inspring me to get on my writing game. #prodchat
-

That makes me happy! @jrnolan12: Wow. You guys are awesome. Inspring me to get on my writing game. #prodchat”
-
Yes, sad face. 🙁 @IsaPinaud: A6 I don’t 🙁 #prodchat”
-
@nmhouston I use the Streaks app. I’m uber competitive, so I don’t want to break my own streaks! #prodchat
-
Q8. How do you avoid writing distractions? #prodchat
-
-
@michaelmarieks Which is exactly why I have trouble with guarding the time… #prodchat
-
@michaelmarieks You have to make time for writing. It won’t just happen. I blog every day and I’m writing my dissertation. #prodchat
-
A lot of people do this. @MarketingMusing: A8 turn off the Wifi on your computer. 🙂 #prodchat”
-
Eek! I named it Q8. I skipped one because of time. @rsidneysmith: Did I miss Q7? #prodchat”
-
Kick distractions in the rear! @rsidneysmith: A8. Remove them (distractions)…by brute force preferably. #prodchat”
-
@rsidneysmith I was asking myself the same thing #prodchat
-
@MarketingMusing I can’t always because I need access to the online library. #prodchat
-
@MarketingMusing That’s brilliant. The only hiccup is for some of the pieces that I write that require simultaneous research #prodchat
-
@a_robinson Thank you? 😉 #prodchat
-
YES! “@nmhouston: I find that a daily meditation routine helps writing. Also visualization, devotion, & exercise #prodchat”
-
A7: I use distractions to my advantage by making deals with myself. Ex: If I finish this editing, I can check FB. #prodchat
-
@IsaPinaud We do tend toward Type A behaviors, eh? 😉 #prodchat
-

-
I’m with @nmhouston (no surprise!) and @a_robinson on daily meditation…the more I do, the more consistent my writing. #prodchat
-
MT @rsidneysmith: distractions=paying attention to sthing you don’t want to. You’re focusing…just not on what you decided to #prodchat
-
Last question: What’s your greatest writing concern right now? #prodchat
-
Last question: What’s your greatest writing concern right now? #prodchat
-
@nmhouston Yes, this is markedly different than the ADD version we have of distraction. They’re soooo different! #prodchat
-
@rsidneysmith True! I just didn’t have a fancy name for it. #prodchat
-
@nmhouston One is neurological system malfunctioning, and the other is your intrinsic reward system! #prodchat
-
