Comments on: A Week of Establishing a Writing Focus Foundation http://howtogetfocused.com/focus-in-practice/a-week-of-establishing-a-writing-focus-foundation/ Get Focused in an Age of Distraction Mon, 23 Jan 2012 14:51:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Scott http://howtogetfocused.com/focus-in-practice/a-week-of-establishing-a-writing-focus-foundation/comment-page-1/#comment-31 Scott Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:51:24 +0000 http://howtogetfocused.com/?p=404#comment-31 Hey Kevin -- You know, there were some writing assignments I really didn't enjoy in school, and there were others that really helped expand my mind. As an undergrad myself, I didn't have much time to write on my own in the morning. In college, there are already a wealth of assignments and papers. The routine outlined here works if you're in the corporate or entrepreneurial world; however, the hours and routines in college are much different. A routine that I suggest getting into would be: (i) As part of your daily foundation (first thing in the morning), do one or a combination of the following exercises: a) read a book that's not part of a class. Something that you're interested in. If you need a suggestion, ping me. b) Use the technique I outlined in the chapter on writing via flash-cards to record some thoughts, quotes or inspirations. Review the previous days. c) Exercise. After this, go to class, hit up the library or do your normal daily routine. At night, I wouldn't stress out about reading because in college, hours are so variable. Hey Kevin —

In college, there are already a wealth of assignments and papers. The routine outlined here works if you’re in the corporate or entrepreneurial world; however, the hours and routines in college are much different.

A routine that I suggest getting into would be:
(i) As part of your daily foundation (first thing in the morning), do one or a combination of the following exercises:
a) read a book that’s not part of a class. Something that you’re interested in. If you need a suggestion, ping me.
b) Use the technique I outlined in the chapter on writing via flash-cards to record some thoughts, quotes or inspirations. Review the previous days.
c) Exercise.

After this, go to class, hit up the library or do your normal daily routine. At night, I wouldn’t stress out about reading because in college, hours are so variable.

Obviously, if it's due soon and I don't have any other mornings to work on it I should break that rule and write away, but other than that exception, what's your opinion on writing papers for school? Thanks, Kevin Scott,
