That sounds interesting. I've tried a lot of different things but so this strategy is what is working best.

The good part about being hard on that 20 min limit is that I started to naturally think about the article that I'm writing during the day, maybe because my brain knows that I don't have much time to put it down.

One thing that makes it hard for me, however, is over-planning my post. If I try to write the next sections without being done with the current I get stuck.

Yes to over-planning! My draft process is a lot of bullet points of ideas, that I tend shuffle into cohesive sections (hopefully) then flesh out into something readable.

I will say that The Developer's Guide to Content Creation has made the writing process easier. The worksheets there and smaller writing blocks have made finishing a post easier when I take the brain power to get it done.
