It's time for a "HeadStart" For half an hour, I've been lying on my bed and staring at the blank screen, And it's not that I was out of ideas or something; It's just that I was feeling difficulty in "**Starting**".

Speaking of ideas, That, too, isn't my field of mastery, but, Still, somehow, I manage to come up with a worthy idea every 2 to 3 days. And, As for today, I had three ideas in mind that I was planning on writing, but there was only one thing coming in my way, **The Beginning**.  At that moment, I realized that if I'm having such difficulty; My dear fellows might face it too. So I postponed working on those ideas and googled for tips and techniques to overcome this headache( Difficulty in starting). Hoping, It might save you guys some precious time. So, here is what I got  **For the first 2-3min write anything:**       If you have been following my posts, you might know that I had mentioned the same tip in one of my previous posts about tips to come up with ideas(the title may differ). Well, It's the same thing but with a new goal this time. **How it helps:** Usually, what stops you from starting is your tendency to write quality content.  Most of you would agree that you always have a sentence or phrase prepared in your mind that you want to write, but you keep rephrasing it until and unless you are satisfied with its quality, and that's why you end up staring at the blank screen.

What you are supposed to do is to let everything flow smoothly, at least for the first 3-5 min write whatever comes to your mind and don't even bother editing it.  Soon enough, you will see that this "free-writing" has awarded you with a number of options to start with; now, pick the one you like and start writing.  **Remember:** The editing phase comes after the writing phase. In other words, **"You can't edit something you haven't done yet."** So, write something first, then edit it.  **Note:** Even If you don't write anything about your topic, still, it's ok, because it's just a mind refreshing technique so, you are free to write whatever you want. No Restrictions. **2. Start from Wherever you like:** Well, I read this technique on the internet but way before reading it,  somehow, I used to use this technique without even knowing(So, at least for me, it's safe to say that I came up with this one myself).  **How it works:** In this technique,  you skip the "Beginning", Seems weird, Is'nt it? But that's how it works.  You always have some paras or sentences prepared in your mind that you plan on adding somewhere in the middle of your article. Right? Just start writing from there. When you start from there, you won't have to worry about the beginning anymore, and you can keep writing until you are finished.  Once you have finished, you will have plenty of time to think about the "beginning" without having to care for the "Middle" or the "End"(resulting in your burden lowered).  I hope you get the point, and If you are still confused about this point, let me know. **3. Have a fixed writing time** I am sure you have understood it already, just by looking at the title, but as it is in my list, so let's not outcast it.  Let me explain how it works! At first, having a fixed time to write isn't going to feel any different, and you might feel the same level of difficulty in writing as you do at any other time. But, as soon as you get used to it, The change will be crystal clear.  Because having a set schedule helps you train your mind into getting ready for the work (At that specific time), which causes your mind to work more effectively. So, that's all for today,  I hope this article will help you in some way. If you find this article interesting and helpful, don't forget to hit the like and subscribe button.
