Creating Good Content in Just Twenty Minutes Days
If you work for a small business, you’ve most likely heard someone say that they “wear many hats.” Consequently, when new technologies arise it’s a struggle for many small businesses to find someone in the organization to not only learn about it, but to find the time to complete the tasks.
Now I’m a firm believer that there is always time to something. If it’s important enough to you, then you’ll find the time. But sometimes if you work for a small business, you are in fact too overwhealmed with running the operation to create content.
Content is important. Good content is even more important. But more important than both of those is consistency. If you post a blog this week and then take …show more content…

Lastly, understand that you can change from your outline. This isn’t something you have to stick to. This is merely something you can use on Day 3 when you are staring at a blank page.
Day 3: Rough Draft
Writing a rough draft in 20 minutes may seem difficult. But if you have an outline complete, this step is so much easier. On day 3, just write for twenty minutes. Don’t think about what you’re writing, don’t worry about your grammar, sentence structure or whether or not what you’ve written makes sense. Just follow your outline and write whatever comes to …show more content…
Most people have “writer’s block” because they feel everything they write has to be perfect. You forget that you’ll be able to edit it. Here’s the thing. Very few people can write well without heavy editing. So don’t worry about any of this. Just write for twenty minutes and see what
