Five Great Tips to Help you Write Faster and More Efficiently

It can be difficult to learn how to write faster but still maintain the quality of your work. Do you ever wonder why some people seem to crank out hundreds of articles on a monthly basis, whereas others just seem to write a few a week? Those people that have mastered the art of writing fast, good quality articles have a strategy. Organization is one of the most important factors of efficient writing. If you cant organize yourself you will find it hard to write more than a couple of articles a day. Take a look at these five helpful tips and you will be writing faster in no time.

Plan 

This may seem very obvious to you but, planning is key. Some people might find it easier to just write whatever they want on a daily basis with no plan in place. However it is much easier, and far more efficient to plan your articles in advance. This is especially true for revenue share articles, blog posts and for article marketing purposes. Decide on your titles, your  keywords and your deadlines for each piece. Put all this information into an excel document.  When you start your day of writing, you will find it so much easier, because you will have everything planned out. You will get twice as much done, so give it a try.

Organize your workspace 

A disorganized workspace can completely destroy your work patten. Picture this, papers all over the desk, on the floor. Clothes everywhere and you simply can't find anything. This is a surefire way for you to stop your work to tidy up when you should be working.  Clean up the clutter in advance, never work in an untidy room.

Shut down the Facebook 

Block Facebook, Twitter, and all other social networking pages until you have finished your work session. I know I have found it very difficult in the past to concentrate on work, because I constantly stop and read my e mails and look at Facebook. Switch your phone off, block the social networking and last but not least, do not look at your e mail.

Stop Editing 

This sounds silly right? Well, when I say stop editing I mean stop editing every line you write. Write out the article and then go back and edit. Once you have the bare ones of your piece, going back and editing should take no time at all. Stopping at every line only slows you down.

Set a timer 

This has been one of the most effective ways of writing for me. It forces my brain to tick, I always write faster, come up with the best ideas when I set a timer. So, if you have a radio alarm clock, a stop watch or even a cell phone. You can set your timer and get to work.  I set my stopwatch for 20 minutes for 500 word piece, and I normally get it done in under that time. You don't need an hour to write a 500 words piece so if you think 20 minutes is not long enough, try and set it for half an hour max per 500 words.
