How to revolutionize your writing skill?
Start taking notes. Why?
Instead of just starting from scratch. Try to have something at your end for that purpose. People face writer’s block because they just have a blank paper in front of them or a black Word page.
The concept is deeply discussed in the book by Sonke: “ How to take smart notes?”.(it is the best book on writing. Check its summary: How to take smart notes?)
Notes do not mean you just copy-paste. You have to understand the concept behind them and re-write them.
Because modern online writing is actually rewriting.
Notes: Physical or Digital?
Try taking smart notes that would be better than physical ones. Because physically they may pile up and you would be able to organize them. Try something like Evernote and Notion for that purpose.
How to use them?
So Luhmann was a German writer. He published 58 books and tons of articles. He used the same technique described in the book mentioned above. When you read stuff.
Try taking notes and he used a Zettlekassten way of organizing those notes.
In the old days when there was no Tech playing its part, you can not use apps. But now you can use them. I would recommend Tiago Forte’s course “ Building a Second Brain” for this cool stuff.
