About this listen
Writers are different. We don't always think in straight lines. We take leaps of logic, we think metaphorically, and we know in order to make something beautiful, you might also have to make a mess.
You've probably tried to adopt at least one organizing system already. Maybe it was in a bestselling book written by someone in a suit. Or maybe it was the system that works for your brother the accountant or your naturally-neat coworker. Whatever system you tried, it was probably very logical and made total sense, until you tried to force yourself to fit into it.
Did you come to the conclusion that there's something wrong with you? That you're naturally disorganized? That creativity and organization can't coexist?
First the good news: you're not broken, and it is possible to be creative and organized at the same time.
Any functional system of organization for writers must be designed around the writing process. And every writer's process is a little bit different.
This book will show you how to analyze your writing process and set up your tools and resources in an way that feels natural and supports you in being more creatively successful.

The very knowledge that was supposed to set us free has instead led to the paralyzing stress of believing we’ll never know or remember enough. Now, this eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain.

With The Paper Solution, founder of Organize365 Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide for what to shred, what to save, and how to sort what's left behind.

Trying to remember a bunch of details and tasks isn't the best use of your brainpower. By collecting all of your tasks in one place, you can reserve your mental energy for work that drives significant results, both in your professional life and your personal life. To start, productivity expert Maura Thomas takes us through an exercise called "brain dumping", which will clear your mind of all the things you're trying to remember you have to do - all the things that are distracting you or keeping you up at night.

But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start.

These guidelines can be used for other areas.
I plan to use these guidelines in my artwork & study spaces. I would like to have this book in a print copy. I've purchased both digital and audio versions, but haven't located a copy in book form. Over all I am very happy with the information I've learned.
