I've found other advantages too because it helps me to stay focused.
You see the way it works is that when I sit down to write, I give myself a set amount of time to do it. So for a short article, I only allow myself a few minutes to do it. For a small ebook or report I allow 2 hours.
So because I have only a short amount of time to get my writing done, it keeps my attention where it should be because I don't have the time to get distracted. There is a saying that we stretch our work to fit the time that we have to do it. So the less time I give myself, the quicker I get it done.
Which means that, because I'm writing more in less time than it used to take, I should have more time for other things, right?
Wrong. And I just couldn't believe the irony.
