“How To Write Article In 30 Minutes"

 

I just made a cup of tea, sat down, and hit the timer for 30 minutes.

Why?

Because I want to show you how to write a full article from scratch — in less time than it takes to scroll Instagram and accidentally buy a useless gadget you’ll never use.

So let’s jump right in.

1. Set the Mood, Not Just the Timer

Before I even start typing, I get comfy.

Phone on silent. Laptop charged (please learn from my past pain). Water bottle nearby. Music? Only if it helps you focus.

Then I open my Notes or Google Docs and set a timer — 30 minutes on the dot.

This isn’t about writing a novel. It’s about getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page.

2. Start With a Brain Dump (5–10 minutes)

Let me be honest: my first lines are usually trash.

I literally start like this:

“Okay, I have no idea what to write but I promised myself I’d do this, so let me just ramble for a bit…”

But guess what? Those first lines help me warm up. Then ideas start flowing.

I ask myself:

• What have I been thinking about lately?
• What’s something I explained to someone recently?
• What’s bugging me or making me curious?

Once something clicks, I just go. Fast. No editing. No backspacing. Just dump every thought into the doc.

3. Use a Rough Structure

I don’t sit there crafting the “perfect” outline. I just ask:

• What’s the point of this article?
• What 3 things do I want to say?
• How should I wrap it up?

That’s it.

Even a super simple structure like this works:

• Intro: Set the scene
• Body: Talk about 2–3 key points
• End: Wrap up with advice or a takeaway

Boom. Done.

4. Flow First, Fix Later

I don’t stop to fix spelling. I don’t check grammar. I don’t even care if a sentence makes perfect sense yet.

Why? Because editing while writing kills the vibe.

This first round is just me talking to myself (or the version of myself who will read it later). That’s it.

The real article will appear after the rough stuff is on the page.

5. Time to Edit (10–15 minutes)

Once the timer dings or I feel like I’ve gotten everything out, I go back to the top.

Now, I read it like I’m a stranger. I ask:

• Does this make sense?
• Is it boring anywhere?
• Can I cut or rewrite any part to make it smoother?

I remove fluff. Tighten up the sentences. Fix typos.

I’m not aiming for Shakespeare. Just clean, simple, honest writing.

6. Headline Game (5 minutes)

I brainstorm 5–10 headlines. Some are stupid. Some are weird. One of them usually clicks.

The goal: grab attention without lying about what the article’s about.

If your headline makes someone go, “Ooh, I need this,” then you’ve nailed it.

7. Add a Photo & Hit Publish

Find a simple, funny, or emotional image. Not boring. Not too cheesy. Something that matches the vibe.

And then?

Hit publish. Or post. Or send it. Whatever you need to do — do it.

Because done is better than perfect. Always.

Final Thoughts (You’re Still Here? I Love That.)

Writing doesn’t have to take hours.

It doesn’t have to be perfect.

You don’t need to light a candle and wait for the “right mood.”

All you need is a timer, a topic, and a willingness to show up for the page.

You’ve got thoughts. You’ve got a voice. Now let the world hear it — 30 minutes at a time.

Oh, and keep snacks nearby. Snacks save lives.
