Outlining Dynalist or Your Template

Each of the bullet points in each subtopic is clickable/zoomable, giving you a macro-view. It's easy to write a blog post using an outline. You just need to expand on the bullet points.

However, the outline should not limit your creativity. Remember that outlines can be elastic. A detailed outline will help you to have a clear idea of the content of your post.

And: CLARITY = POWER.

Set a Deadline

Writing a blog post can take forever if you don't have a deadline. Put a deadline for your post. You must finish your writing within that deadline. Make it mandatory.

This will automatically make it easier to avoid distractions. This is one of my top tips to speed up my blog. You will also be more productive and save time.

You can use tools like Orzeszek Timer, Timer for Mac, etc. These tools allow you to track your time and help you achieve your goal. Be Focused Pro is a Mac tool that you can use.

Timing is Crucial

It can take months to write an article that isn't due by a certain date. Tell me, how many of your unfinished items are in your closet?

You should remember that blogging is not like writing with a pen and paper. Let it flow.

Excellent training, Lily.
I actually do everything you suggest except use Dynalist. I love free software like this though and will be exploring its capability within my process.

I use "notion.os" for everything right now (also free) ... research materials and writing and much more. One of the value adds of the notion software is that I can format everything within it and then copy to wp where I add images. Also, I can use it on Windows, macOS, ios or Android, online or offline.

I hope you don't mind the question... does Dynalist work in various environments and how easily does it copy to WP?
Thanks again.
:-)

Great Post Lily. I read another post the other day and the suggestion was to write your introduction last. I was always told what you have outlined.

Very informative and the Explore Dynalist sounds very helpful.

Personally, I like to write mine in sequence Yvonne or I forget what I want to say but everyone is different. There is no right way just whatever works for you and gets the flow going.

Hi Stephen, I tried Dragon years ago but I had to talk like a baritone for it to register my voice and I don't speak in a high voice. I'm sure they have improved over the last 20 years.Lol

Wow Lily! When I first started blogging I used a similiar formula, but I'd forgotten just how I went about. You've brought it all back to me. Thank you my friend. Jim
