The worst writing productivity advice I've ever seen:

"Take a break every 30 minutes."

Are you crazy?

Get in flow, stay there as long as you can, then stop.

You'll write 10x more this way.

How to become an amazing writer in 8 easy steps:

1. Read
2. Read
3. Read
4. Read
5. Read
6. Read
7. Read
8. Write

All there is to it really.

People say coffee can't replace water but I think they just don't drink enough coffee.

I'm going to settle this right now:

If you can count it, it's fewer.
If you can't count it, it's less.

"There were fewer emails to read."
vs
"I had less work to do."

Easy.

You can't write something worth reading until you've lived something worth writing.

I'm always amused at writers that outsource everything else.

"I just want to write!"

Dear reader, if all you ever do is write...

...what are you going to write about?

The writer's urge to start 17 projects before you've finished the first one

Read a real book.

X-Twitter rots your brain and spoils your writing.

So do most self help and business books.

Pick up a classic novel instead.

You'll write better.

By age 30 you should have realised writing is the most powerful skill in the modern world.

It's wild how many terrible writers make amazing money because they just keep putting themselves out there and never doubt their ability.

Something to think about

If I was starting over as a writer:

1. Pick 3-5 great books (think Dostoevsky, Tolkien, Shakespeare)

2. Read them weekly for a year

3. Write 1 hour per day

This would realistically put you in the top 10% of writers at the end of the year.

If you followed every tip on promoting yourself you'd never write anything.

Pick one traffic source
Collect emails
Write

That's it. Add more later if you have to.

Writing is a skill, not just a talent.

You can learn. You can practice.

You can get better.

Writer's block is just a fancy word for laziness.

Avoid negatives.

Never write "He wasn't the best of shots"

When you can write "He was a bad shot"

Your readers brain will skip the negative, then have to go back and correct it, which jars them out of the reading trance.

Rephrase it.

Stop overthinking.

Write it. Edit it. Publish it.

Move on to the next thing.

1/100 aspiring authors will start writing.
1/100 of those will finish the book.
1/100 of those will publish.

It doesn't take much to beat the average.

If you really wanted to be a writer you'd turn your phone off.

The writer needs to know everything about the topic.

But the reader should only get the important details.

Never try and cover EVERYTHING in one piece.

Great writers write passionately and edit purposefully

If you're starting your professional career, these moral values should reflect in your professional and even in your personal life:

• Responsibility 
• Fairness
• Integrity 
• Cooperation
• Reliability
• Dedication
• Discipline
• Productivity
• Professionalism

Work Ethics is nothing but maintaining the moral values to support your professional and personal growth trajectory.

This week, I completed the short but value-packed module, “Work Ethics,” curated by Indian Railways on the Karmayogi Bharat platform.

(Save Energy, Save Future)

PS: Which moral value do you find non-negotiable?

Work Ethics

There are lessons you never forget.

Not because someone taught you, but because the plant tested you.

That silence in the control room when something doesn’t respond.

The sound of a random alarm that changes your heartbeat.

The moment when everyone looks at you and is waiting for a decision.

• Those moments shape you.
• Not the classroom.
• Not the manual.
• Not the theory.

So, I’m starting a new series called “Plant Floor Lessons.”

• Real incidents.
• Real pressure.
• No filters. 
• No glamour.
• Real growth that happens when systems fail, and character is revealed.

Just honest engineering stories.

If you have ever stood in a switchyard at night…

If you have ever felt the pressure of the unit waiting to synchronize…

Then, this series is for you.

I’m sure, irrespective of your work profile, this series of true events at power plant floor will be another learning experience.

(Save Energy, Save Future)

PS: Are you ready to revisit the lessons the plant taught you?

#plantfloorlessons

Baljeet Singh: This series will comprise real learning experiences and lessons from thermal & hydro power plants, switchyards, switchgears, control & protection schemes, trouble shooting, etc.

The power sector is the backbone of India's economy, and a reliable power supply is essential for the country's growth, 

— K Sanjay Murthy, CAG

Energy Accounting: Not just a number, but a health card of a powerhouse.

Not every strong woman we admire with is on social media.

Some are quietly holding us together as a family and today’s this post is dedicated to all those super women.

On this International Women’s Day, I want to be thankful and appreciate the every women who work tirelessly both inside and outside their homes, like:

 ✔ A mother sacrificing her comfort for the better future of her kids.

 ✔ A wife supporting the every difficult decision made my her husband.

 ✔ A colleague balancing the responsibility in personal life & work in professional life.

Strength doesn't always come with noise, but sometimes it comes with patience, resilience, and silent dedication.

Today is not just about celebration, but it is about acknowledging the contribution of women who shape our lives and society every single day.

• Respect. 
• Gratitude. 
• Appreciation.

(Happy International Women’s Day)

PS: Who is the woman that has influenced your life the most?

#IWD26

No matter who you’re or what is your designation, these are the non-negotiable skills to learn:


• Good Communication
• Personal Finance
• And, Active Listening

Anything that you want to add?

The disruption in “Straight of Hormuz” is the another reason to be self-reliant and achieving self-sufficiency in energy/power sector.

It is a high time to optimise and harness the renewable resources available to India, making it Viksit Bharat by 2047.
