3 Ways to Force Yourself to Write Quickly (Just Like The Beatles)

Lennon and McCartney averaged writing 26 songs a year.

That’s one song every two weeks.

Pretty crazy, right?

The Beatles were forced to write songs quickly because they were constantly touring, giving interviews, playing for the BBC, and performing in films.

If the Beatles were forced to write quickly, the question is . . .

Can you do the same?

Yup, you can.

Here are three super-easy techniques I’ve used over the years to speed up my writing time.

I use the first technique when I collaborate with clients on writing their content with them, in real time.

There’s no rule that says you must start at the beginning.

Start writing where you feel most inspired: the end, the call to action, the headline, or the intro.

Write for 10 minutes straight—as fast as you can—without stopping.

Don't edit a word.

You'll generate a ton of new ideas in a flash!

Get an egg timer.

Use it both with and without sound.

Adjust the length of your sessions accordingly.

But you can write faster than ever by using these techniques.
