Freestyle Writing

WRITE about anything and everything. That’s right!

This blog post is the product of freestyle writing. I schedule a regular “freestyle writing” session for my Career Journal.

I just write down anything and everything that comes into my head. The making sense of it all… the analysis… this comes later.

Freestyle writing can be done as a form of mind dump or alternatively, you can use it as a regular review and form of reflection e.g. by carrying out a weekly review.

When writing in my Career Journal I usually start my free-writing entries by writing about my day:

  • What I did (description),
  • what I got done (achievements),
  • what I didn’t get done,
  • what I learned,
  • problems and issues,
  • successes,
  • observations,
  • facts,
  • comments,
  • news…
