She tracked her own startup time over four days. After a multi-day break, it took about 15 minutes to get back in. She reread five pages and made notes. On back-to-back days, it took as little as 2 minutes. What made the difference? Simple strategies like leaving her document open, using Word's "pick up where you left off" feature, and jotting a page number on a sticky note. Her big takeaway: track your own ramp-up time. Be honest. Some people need 30 minutes to settle in. That time counts and should be part of your plan. She also suggests splitting the warm-up. Open your document and find your place earlier in the day. Then, when it\u2019s time to write, you can jump right in. The episode ends with a nod to sponsor Textbook and Academic Authors. They offer a microlearning video library for scholarly writers.
