It was helping me, until people started raiding my stash like a bunch of pirates everytime I turned my back, so now I just write on YT , and I have some control over it, although sometimes I don't because I don't have phone rights for some reason? but most of the time I can get out what I want , under my YT name, it's thereaputic. Of course there's still stuff I'd like to write about , or get out, without having eyes watching as I'm writing ( I can't do that anymore) but this is better than nothing, glad it helps u 2.

@JeremieRykner 4 года назад

Summary Key Points: - Write to freeze your thoughts and look at them in a different way whenever you want - lawyers are great at that as they are trained and skilled at looking and thinking about every word and its' meaning - writing is rewriting - 2 scrappy pages per day minimum of writing, brain vomit, worthless - then revise them in at least 3 rounds, first for yourself, second round of edits, for his fans who would love it, third round for the critics who will be twisting everything - ask people to highlights parts that are unclear - if something makes you wonder highlight it - if you doubt it take it out - indicate the 10% I should keep no matter what - if I had to cut 10% what would you cut - Writing systematically and revising systematically will help you in becoming a good and skilled writer - Writing is the most important practice

Just as a photograph captures a moment we cherish, writing captures our thoughts in the moment, helping gain clarity on our thoughts. Writing down our thoughts also helps take the load off our mind from things which may stress us out. Writing regularly helps us become more articulate n analytical, thereby helping in problem solving.

@Mr.Morten 4 года назад

Summary: - Ferris credits much of the success he has had to writing and by constantly practicing writing - Writing lets you analyze your thoughts and sharpen them to ensure your statements are not confusing - very difficult to do in your head - Write 2 pages a day, even if they are crappy, that way you set yourself up for improving the next day - Rewriting is key Rewriting: - When rewriting, first rewrite for yourself, then rewrite based on what your fans want, and lastly rewrite based on how critics will twist your words/sentences - Also have professional writers proof read your work - lawyers or people with legal experience are excellent substitutes - People can love or hate your work, but it should not be confusing - remove any confusing words or sentences - When rewriting be aware when your mind is wandering while reading - it can indicate the current part is too slow/boring - When in doubt take it out

@Malabarismo 4 года назад

@TheSurfingCat 4 года назад

I'm not a professional writer, but these tips really resonated with me and have given me some new ideas to try in my own writing. I would also include RU-vid comments, Twitter replies and all other written communications in the "two crappy pages a day". Going back and re-reading your writing a day wiser and with other people's feedback, reactions and consequences presents a valuable lens through which to improve your writing and communication. I imagine looking back through your old videos and listening to previous podcasts has a similar effect. I think it's key to take the layered approach to editing as Tim suggests; be open to receiving feedback at every stage, from different sources and viewpoints, but balancing it fairly with your vision and intention for that writing.

Thanks Tim! I was writing the first couple months of the year and have gotten away from it the past few weeks. I've noticed my meditations haven't been as deep and there's been an underlying feeling of disconnect recently. Figuring it was the isolation or possibly because I've been watching the news again (gag), I keep on keeping on. In this morning's meditation, I could feel a push back toward my pen and paper. I love the serendipity that I wasn't looking for anything regarding this subject and you arrived on my screen. No accidents! Be well brother!!!

Often the proper word doesn't appear at the moment i need it, or the phrase can be grammatically wrong, and i am aware of it, but just write it in whatever way it came to my mind. Or I write few words in parentheses that may be alike the word I need. And when I start editing what I wrote, I am in a different state. Editing takes precedence, and you come up with correcting blank sentences much better.

Thank you so very much for this. I thought I was strange when I sat before my computer with a pen and pad and wrote by hand for over an hour straight. I felt as if I was one with the writing and the computer would take that away from me. It actually felt like I was feeling what I was writing, and it was much of nothing special. I was putting on paper what I was feeling and the computer felt like it was an intrusion. Your video freed me from feeling as if something was 'wrong' with me. Thanks again.

For me, the only time I can think is when I write. I am not thinking when I'm not writing. I don't just write a few pages a day, I write one entire notebook a day and I use multiple notebooks. I carry a small portable notebook in my pocket at all time like Richard Branson. I find myself writing when I'm in the public restroom for example making one of the most unusual places to start writing but hey, sometimes the best ideas come from sitting on the public toilet. I even have a notebook readily available when I'm in the shower. Sometimes when I"m taking my 15 minute blissful showers, ideas come and I have to walk out of the shower to write that idea down. I avoid writing notes on the computer at all cost.

What a great message. I've been writing my thoughts in a document for about two months now, but I've never thought writing in that way. Great video!

I sucked at school. 35 years ago Last year I returned to night school and took Mathematics qualifications and the got top grades. This year I will study English language. I hope it helps me to write better.

I like the incremental editing - starting from friends to critics.

Love this video! Very good content. The music and delivery are top notch. I also like how the title has Tim Ferriss at the end, not the start; its obvious who it is by the thumbnail-- good marketing.
