I think 30 mins as a long enough time, to write something. Consider 30mins in seconds.
1 min = 60 sec
30 min = (30 x 60) sec = 1800 sec
1800 sec is a long time. Wondering how?
I assume I can write at least one character per second. That means I can write around 1,800 characters in 30 minutes. On average, I use about six characters per word—that adds up to roughly 300 words in 30 minutes.
With practice, this speed can increase. But for now, 300 words is a good enough count to share an idea or a thought.
Basically, I begin by setting a timer. I use the Clock app on my laptop and set it to 30 minutes. Once the timer starts, I begin writing.
Beforehand, I usually have a rough idea of what I want to write about. This makes thinking and planning easier once the timer is running.
I follow a top-down approach. I begin with the topic header—that is, the title.
The title helps me anchor my thoughts. I try to focus on the nuances and intricacies of the theme and communicate the idea clearly.
I start writing right away. I don’t worry too much about typos or sentence structure. What matters most is not interrupting the flow of thought.
I let myself write continuously, pausing only to think more deeply about the topic. Of course, I occasionally glance at the time left.
Once the initial draft on the topic is done, I do a basic grammar check using Grammarly or AI tools. I also analyze my content using GPT-4 to see if there's any inconsistency or if a section needs improvement.
The idea behind writing for 30 minutes straight is:
- To stay committed
- To develop focus
- To challenge myself to write consistently
