Question: I want to start writing a book and it’s something that’s been in the planning stages for the last couple years. I haven’t gotten started yet and I’m looking for the best starting point. I think I probably have all the content already written, it’s just a matter of organizing it and finding it in all the different file cabinets and computer files from articles and interviews I’ve done.
So what’s the best way to get it all organized?
Answer: My answer may surprise you, but often the best way to get started is to start fresh.
In the last 10 years of creating my own products and also helping my clients do the same, one of the blocks I commonly find is too much stuff to go through is overwhelming. In fact, the thought of going through tons of stuff to find what you want and then having to read it and organize it is such a huge task it overwhelms you to the point of not taking action.
Plus, you have grown and have so much more knowledge now than you had in the information you’ll find buried away in file cabinets and computer files you have to dig for.
Yes you can reference docs that are new enough you can readily put your finger on them, but the older stuff may not give you your full knowledge base to start with. And you don’t want to write a book or create a program with less than your best wisdom, do you?
