Focus on Making Forward Progress

As a writer, the focus is on maintaining momentum by breaking tasks into smaller pieces and crossing them off to create a sense of progress. Choosing to tackle the easier task first instead of getting stuck is essential to avoid stalling out. While preferring to work in order, being open to pivoting and jumping to a different section when feeling stuck is important. This approach keeps the focus on making forward progress, even if it means deviating from the original plan.
