Writing is hard work. Sometimes we can focus for hours without feeling any strain. Sometimes we feel exhausted before completing the first paragraph, and we don’t know why. What can we do to get—and stay—in the flow?

Separate Writing and Formatting

Get focused

@ia I really enjoyed this article and shared it with my content writing team. We had a discussion about writing vs structuring and then formatting. Writing and structuring do tend to merge a bit, but we’re all guilty of going for looks over content at times!
@s1fly It's not always a perfect Bruce Lee split. Not ebetween writing and formatting and writing and even less for writing and structuring (sometimes you need to indicate "this is a new chapter"). But you can get pretty close if you pay attention to not mix them out of bad UI habit. For titles, just marking this is a title usually is enough. The exact hierarchy is separate work for later. This simple focus really helps us staying in the flow.
@ia @reichenstein Ooh, those beautiful ligatures in the font’s italic! 😘
