Save time in writing by working on becoming a better writer. This resource has practical tips.

In addition: Use [brackets] when you want to get back to a section or thought in a searchable manner or comments work too.

Search for "which" or "that" in your writing to see if there are places where you can make shorter sentences. Usually "which" or "that" connects two sentences that can be broken into two related thoughts.

Writing downhill prepares you for the next time you write. You may leave out an article on your desk to start with when you return. Writing notes to yourself in a separate document or as notes or annotations in your writing helps you start again. Some say stop writing when you are going to write something enjoyable again so that you can start your writing with an enjoyable section.

When you are wrapping up your work, take 10 minutes to write some reflective notes.

1.  Summarize what you did today with your projects.

2. What’s left to complete or answer in this section or related to this task?

3. What information, resources, or support do you need to move forward?

4. What is the first thing you’re going to do when you sit down again with your writing?
