Document Summary
Think about the first draft as a series of heavily annotated thoughts: take breaks, write when you are patient. When you are thinking clearly: read briefly some interesting material before u begin, maybe take a walk in between reading and writing, don"t sent a page goal, set a time goal! In drafting responses give yourself time to think and review the notecards. Much of the first draft will be unusable material. Turn off the internal editor: "this isn"t good enough!" Have several people review the work: someone who is familiar with the subject and someone who"s unfamiliar. "either this company buys new equipment, or it faces a long and inevitable decline. " either/or logical fallacy. Does not think of the full spectrum of possibilities. "the sales manager"s poor social skills prevented him from working successfully with people. " This turns its back on itself (too obvious with its reasoning)
