Here's the scenario(场景): You've got an article to write on an interesting topic. You have more than enough time to meet your deadline and an editor lined up to perfect your words. There's one big problem, though. The words won't come. You've got writer's block. And your deadline, which seemed generous at first, is starting to close in on you. Every writer has been there. What can you do about it?
Science says that's when writers are most creative and least likely to be distracted. But when you're completely stuck, going straight into writing first thing in the morning might not work. Why not start your day with something you're excited about? It'll be more fun and make you feel productive.
Smoothly as the morning unfolds, writer's block may linger(逗留). While faced with it, we find the best approach is to break your task up into chunks. With this one little step, you've accomplished something and you're one step closer to meeting that deadline. Then, do some reading, make a list of any ideas you find interesting, and use your list to create a rough outline. The draft may still need some polishing, but you're most of the wav there now!
Besides, writing is more than putting words on paper. It's also about thinking. You should feel free to walk away when you need to have some quality "thinking time". If you use these breaks to do something productive, you won't think of it as time wasted. You'll get fresh air and exercise—which are both known to be good for creativity—and your colleagues will thank you.
