Writing workflow

Category: workflow

Summary: A process for turning notes into drafts, essays, memos, reports, or other output.

What it means

Writing workflows connect reading and thinking to expression. Notes become outlines, arguments, evidence, and examples.

How it shows up in personal knowledge management

They connect to writing-process, outlining, drafting, synthesis, maps-of-content, and creative-output.

Common mistakes

• Waiting until every note is perfect before drafting.
• Using notes as a substitute for making an argument.
