> 1. Outline the next thing you write, before you write it. It sounds like rewriting as you write is a problem. Outlining gets you out of that habit like few other things can. It forces you to focus on what you're trying to convey and who you want to address. Yeah I should try to do that more, it's a good suggestion. It usually helps when I have laid out some bullet points before writing. > 2. You didn't mention anything about you HN (or other media) use. If you're using that as a way to escape, it's time to stop. I have blocked distracting websites on my work computer, but you could put me in an empty room with white walls and just a typewriter and I would just be as easily distracted. I just start to think about other things when I eliminate all distraction.
