Today's text will help to overcome the creative crisis, cope with laziness, unwillingness to work, because it's about freeriding .
Hearing the word "creative", bankers, businessmen and other serious people, for sure, thought: "Oh well, this is for writers of some kind, I do not need this article".
And wrong!
This technique is able to help people of different specialties.
Freeskift? And I did not know that this is called. ..
I was pushed by Marina's friend to write this article.
It is not the first year that she has been engaged in copywriting, rewriting, that is, she writes various texts to order, filling in content with content. It turns out very well for her, since this occupation of a modest increase in wages for two years has turned Marina into a major source of income.
There are regular customers who began to fill it with a lot of tasks.
The desire to earn more in one moment led to overwork.
Marina complained:
"I get up in the morning and understand that I can not write a single line. Even a laptop to open laziness.
It seems that all the topics are uninteresting, that everything is written before me, that I spend time, in short - the most complete creative crisis.
Usually I was helped by short-term vacation and full unloading of brains. And here: three days have passed, and I'm still not ready to go back to copywriting. But you need to earn money, and you do not want to let the customers down - they already postponed the deadlines. What should I do?
And then I decided that I would start writing anyway. I'll just start writing something that will pop into my head, even if it does not concern the topic at all. And what do you think. In 15 minutes I sketched out the plan for the three texts. And then she quickly created the articles. I barely had time to print, it was so easy to work.
I've never had such a productive day. "
How to manage everything: 10 stunning advice
"So you use freeriding to overcome the creative crisis?", I exclaimed.
Marinka at first did not understand what I was talking about, and then I was glad that the technique she used was so tricky.
What is freeriding?
Even the all-knowing Wikipedia does not give an exact definition of freeriding.
Actually, it's so customary to call a peculiar manner of writing, in which all thoughts arising in the head are transferred to paper.
Thus it is possible:
- to shift the creative process from a dead center;
- generate several brilliant ideas, come up with a new business concept;
- quickly finish with the annoying task;
- accumulate dormant inspiration;
- to overcome laziness, etc.
As you can see, the freeriding method is very useful.
Of course, most of all it is useful to writers, journalists, copywriters, that is, those whose activities are connected with the creation of texts. However it can be used with advantage by advertising managers, directors, artists and even - businessmen.
Despite such a tricky name, freeriding is an invention that does not belong to the twentieth century. It was used by Nikolai Gogol( confirmation is in his epistolary work) and other masters of the pen.
But freeriding was opened to a wide audience already in the 20th century thanks to the appearance of D. Brand's books "Becoming a Writer", P. Elbov "Writing without Teachers", J. Cameron "The Artist's Way".
Among the most famous supporters of this technique is the Pulitzer Prize winner and author of one of the best books of the present "Dandelion Wine" Ray Bradbury.
How to use freeriding correctly?
It's easy to use freetaying: take a piece of paper, a pen( if you're out of date tools for creating texts, then open the "vordian" document on your laptop) and start recording all thoughts that arise in your head without exception.
Try not to be distracted by anything and do not interrupt your employment for at least 15 minutes, then there is a chance that you will really be visited by some brilliant idea.
How to develop attention: effective ways of
After you have finished writing, reread what your head gave birth.
It is likely that this will be a set of random offers, ranging from "The Bloody Dawn Rise" and ending with "Oh, you still need to buy that shocked brown skirt."
Do not be discouraged, do not rush to tear the paper to shreds and curse the inefficient method.
It does not matter if you did not succeed the first time. Hence - it will turn out in the second or third.
If you've tried it more than once, and it's still there, then you simply do not know the secrets of successful freeriding.
It does not matter! I will share them with pleasure.
6 Secrets of successful freeriding
The secrets of freeriding with a young generation of writers were generously shared by experienced fans of this method.
There are, of course, much more than 6, but I chose the most delicious ones:
-
Define the time frame.
In order not to watch every minute on the clock, make an alarm clock that will notify you in 15 or 20 minutes: "Children, all put their hands and handed the notebooks to the teacher's table."
-
Do not interrupt.
Let the phone ring, Skype skip or the cat yells.
The only sound that can interrupt you is the alarm, signaling that the time is up.
-
Transfer thoughts accurately.
Do not try to embellish your thoughts.
Let them be with errors or slang word, you will correct everything after you reread what you've written.
-
Do not set the bar too high.
No need to sit at the desk with the mood "Now I will create something brilliant."
The more relaxed your state is, the more chances are that this "genius" will appear on paper.
-
Ask a specific topic.
For example, the topic of your article: "How to become happy?", Quickly write everything that you think about it.
-
Do not start working immediately with the written text.
Drink coffee, look through the mail - make at least a 15-minute break, and then start developing thoughts written on paper.
If you develop, of course, there is that.

be useful except in writing articles?
