Episode notes
Finding Your Writing Process
- Discover your writing process; there's no single right way.
- Listen to other writers, but cherry-pick advice that works for you.
Multitasking is a Myth
- Stop multitasking, neural networks (brains) only focus on one thing at a time.
- Focus on one task, complete it, and then move on to another.
Working in Blocks
- Work in larger time blocks (e.g., four hours) for creative tasks like writing.
- Shorter periods lead to constant switching costs and hinder deep work.
