As writers, we are expected to be creative and full of "Quick Ideas" and "Document Fix It" Glue. But how much is it possible while following a pressing deadline or meeting other work items scheduled for the day/quarter. As writers we all face the issue of great creative expectations bounded by time crunch factor. What is the output - Document Errors/Missing Creativity/Lack of Motivation.
The real question is how to maintain a balance at workplace and create great masterpieces? Well, there are no defined rules. My post will talk about some fundamentals that can be practiced.
Focus - Focus on each paragraph, sentence, words, spellings, punctuation and style
Letting Go - Letting go your ego. Work with the end target audience and end goal in mind
Realizing your strengths (n weaknesses) - Use your strengths while writing. Create writing strengths by building your knowledge in related fields/models like Bloom's Taxonomy, Instructional Designing strategies, etc.
Bigger picture - Relating your priority with the organization's goal
Giving your best shot - Do your part with honesty and dedication. Whatever be the results, you know that you played your part well.
Worklife balance - Your family, friends’ n work off course :)
It is also very important to do self review and peer review to get rid of errors as much as possible. Above all the end results and customer feedback matters. So make sure if you are writing a sales kit, you have taken interviewed several sales personnel before writing for them, have thorough discussion with SMEs to understand the sales product/service and above all take feedback on v 1.0 from them all (target audience, SME) along with your Seniors (Bosses).
