6. Give yourself a deadline

Let’s not say deadline; rather, go with the word “goal”.

8. Don’t chase perfection

Don't try to fix everything in the first draft. Rather, once you complete it, give it thorough proofreading or ask a friend to do that. Ask her to leave comments and mark mistakes in the draft so that you can fix them accordingly.

You want to write, but you can’t seem to get those words flowing. Your brain is too cluttered to create new content. It is a terrible feeling and can hold a person back from finishing their work. And that's what we call "Writer's Block". While many associate writer’s blocks with procrastination, many believe it to be common among writers (even professional writers with years and years of experience). But irrespective of anything that people believe, the problem is real.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Laetitia Berton

Jamyson Haug
