Start writing freely and progress iteratively. Strive for producing content daily on a schedule without being a perfectionist. Once you dump your ideas to a document, you can structure and improve the quality gradually. Editing your work must be the final activity which you can also delegate to a professional editor.

My biggest inspiration comes from sharing my thoughts with a large number of people who can get value out it. Providing my unique messages and valuable ideas to others encourage me to keep writing and sharing. As a personal gain, it keeps my brain active and healthier. Writing is known as one of the best brain workouts due to activating multiple regions in our brains.

I don't manage time. Time is not manageable. I prioritise my tasks based on their importance. Writing is a priority in my life, therefore, I naturally find time to write. Hope this answers your great question.

The best thing about being a writer is sharing my thoughts and knowledge with people who are interested in them. Writing is a meditative process to me hence it helps me clear my mind.

I get my ideas usually at work when dealing with problems. There are times when we face challenges such as no references, no guidance to complete certain tasks. Then we start experimentation. My books reflect the learnings from those experimentations. I even experiment with my mind and body to transform them into a better functioning state. Life is constant trial and error leading useful learnings and experiences.

The best way for me to deal with writer's blog is to use an outline of my project in granular details. This way, I always know what to write. I also time myself hence my creative insights flow with a purpose and deadline.
