| Abstract
|
:
|
"Writing may be your least favorite workday task. In today's 24/7 business environment, writing effectively, consistently, and quickly with deadlines looming seems impossible. The clock keeps ticking, but the proposal you're writing is on hold while you wait for a colleague's data. Panic hits as you stare at an empty computer screen that should reflect the report your boss expects ... yesterday. And how can you concentratelet alone be creative-between constant interruptions and the noise from the building renovations going on one floor above you?" "Paralysis can take hold when you have too much to get done and too little time to focus, let alone compose a clear sentence. How to Write Fast Under Pressure offers an easy, efficient, and confidence-building process that will help you be more productive and stay on top of assignments - even under tight deadlines, interruptions, and breaks in concentration." "The book's approach is based on the mnemonic DASH-the four critical components most needed for writers working under pressure - direction, acceleration, strength, and health."--Jacket
