- “The truth is dancers and musicians live in two different worlds.”
- For academic writers, the Rule of 200. Writing 200 words/day is rather like writing for 15 minutes/day — it sets an objective, emotionally neutral goal. Getting that first draft squeezed out is most important; quality can be layered in later. Also, this raises the task from a “special project” (I only write when I’m inspired or when I think I have time) to a routine that one doesn’t have to think about doing — you just sit down to do it. I would like to find a similar metric for editing a document, but maybe minutes per day is the best metric there.
