How to Never Run Out of Writing Ideas, Stay Creative, and Become Prolific

Don't try to be original...
People steal stuff and ideas from other people all the time.
Most people try way too hard to be original but they never get anything done.
Learn how to stand on the shoulders of giants, borrow from timeless wisdom, and draw from a variety of sources to come up with ideas of your own.
Instead, be authentic
Learn a structure, a method and be a bit formulaic. Then, one day, you'll have a unique writing voice that'll help you stand out from the crowd.

Using Noise-Cancelling Headphones
Wearing headphones can block out some of the ambient sounds and create a subtle barrier to being interrupted.
Regular headphones with some sounds playing will also do the trick. But researchers found listening to music with lyrics caused a decline in performance while white noise wasn't found to have the same impact.
The Distractions We Can Control
For any focused work session, we should prevent the distractions we can control.
- Allow only a select few emergency channels to go through and interrupt you. Turn off all other notifications on your phone and computer.
- Ensure your email inbox is closed.
- Pack your phone away to minimise the impulse to check your phone.
- Schedule short focused check-in times for essential emails.
