Here are some practical advices you can get from Julian Shapiro guide for writing

Though, I don’t really like the idea of ‘lifehacks’ since the real of meaning of that term is different and somehow devaluated, here are some key factors to pay attention to:

• Novelty – find something which is actually new and not repeating what is already been said hundreds of times
• Try to write a first draft of your work as soon as you can since this is the. This shortcuts you to the rewriting phase, which most people find far less painful.
• When an idea requires more thought than I want to put in, I just write <to fill out> and move on.
• The peak-end rule — “People judge an experience largely based on how they felt at its most intense point and at its end. This implies they do not judge the experience based on the average of every moment.”

My personal feeling is that sometimes your personal laptop is not even the best device for creative thinking. Yet, having disconnected from external distractors can significantly speed up the process.
