"if you think and speak and write, you are absolutely deadly. Nothing can stand in your way."
As a graduate student, I taught an English 101 class where I headed my syllabus with this comment. I was reprimanded and forced to take it off of the document.
@@GrovesofAcademe 😮hmm maybe there is a desire for dumbing down students that enter the academic environment for less competition and challenge
I'm watching this instead of doing my essay that's due tonight.
Hopefully it gave you some inspiration 😊
Well how was the essay?
@@somayojha7196 got a 92, but my teacher said it was the best i've ever written
Now I have to write on how to write so I can learn to write and think more articulately with materials from the essay of Jordan Peterson on how to write an essay
there's Incredible lessons in this. It's great to wing a first draft, let it come out of you. And afterwards you can work your magic. By becoming eloquent in writing, Your thinking and communication will be sharpened. If I was taught this before I'd have done way more in school
Question is, do you do it now? Because the opportunities to write are still there for youi :)
And in life 😊
There's another video where JP says he never writes for more than 3 hours. He said it on the Chris Williamson podcast 307 around the 22:00 min mark.
Wow I think he cured me. Idk if I’m bipolar but definitely adhd as a 33 year old adult I’ve always had trouble stopping my creative side from taking over. Writing is like life. Stay within the lines. 💯
(I'm loving the contrast between Jordan Peterson's energy & that of the summariser at the end!)
I was critized at work for non-sensical emails, so I took a tip from a tryannical boss who read all his emails to his higher ups, he read them outloud first. And second, I use the spell check as my trigger to re-read, and edit the email...start with the purpose of the email. They got better.
If you use Microsoft Outlook, use the "Speak" command to have your computer read your emails back to you before you send them. This can prevent embarrassing yourself. You can add the “Speak” command to the Quick Access Toolbar. This makes it easy to use. If you don’t use Outlook, then use another text reading app to read your email drafts back to you before sending.
@@ToweringSkillsgreat tip thank you!
Thank you so much for putting all of this together.
Thank you so much for this! It's very helpful and needed to compile clips from someone like JP (who speaks about many topics at once) in order to get a more complete picture of his ideas on a particular topic. Great idea!
What a great sentence! 🎉
Thank you for this well put piece of work. Looking forward to seeing more of your content :)
Much appreciated!
This video is definitely going to my writing playlist
I just added it to mine and then I see your comment 👀
Could you share that playlist so I can learn
Here it is: kzhead.info/channel/PLG3g94NwjOIpWN1RheV8E8H7_3tz7zVA1.html The active reading part is the most crucial part on learning how to write. Hope you get value from that video in particular. Good luck mate
@@ImStrangeThing Thank you for sharing mate
youre welcome
Jordan Peterson is brilliant, and it’s great to know his method. But another brilliant writer and speaker may have a completely different method and style. If this works for you, use it. If it doesn’t, don’t worry: there are many ways that different writers draft their compositions. One is bound to work for you.
Alright, I was looking for that Good find and good editing, thank you very much
Extremely useful for me, thanks.
Inspiring and informative. Thanks

Best 20 minutes of my evening!

invaluable knowledge from jp himself. thanks!
Thank you for this and also congratulations on the number of views you got on this video. Keep going with your channel. 👋
Thanks a lot
Thank you really for collecting these audios.
The Hand DRIVES the MIND!
Summary of some key points made by Jordan Peterson: 1) Start your writing by picking a bloody problem! it’s like… you need a problem to write about. 2) Just get your ideas out regardless of how rough they are formulated. Just write! Sentences. Paragraphs. Whatever YOU think of on the topic. Then you’ll have a bad first draft, which is… well it’s better than having no draft at all! 3) When editing your bad first draft, only pick the best of what you have written in your first draft. (Jordan says he’ll use about 80-90% of his original writings). Once you pick your best bits from your first draft, then re write each sentence word by word, picking the Best word for each sentence. After you have written each sentence, write that sentence multiple ways and ask someone to proofread it for you, to prove that it is clear and makes sense. Cheers!

Is that why art students are more creative when exhausted as they don't self edit as they go?
Essentially yes, because the brain can be conceived as a collection of systems that competes with every other system for space (since the brain is limited), and then your job technically would be to get a grasp on these system (the language process system, editing process system, etc), and put them in order to work together, and towards an aim the self seeks.
Do Canadians have 400 days a year?
I already bought a notebook but have such a miserable life that dont want to write every single day about it.

This is a video about journaling . Ami Dave (the female in the video) the way she talks about journaling sounds actually fun . I suggest u watch it of course don’t have to but I think it’s pretty cool
That probably works well with fiction; in technical writing it's a terrible idea to just produce lots of material, imo.
That's not true. I work in Software Product Management which is highly technical, and it's very useful to produce lots of materials (raw thinking) at first and then edit them to make them coherent. The more complex the problem you're trying to solve is. the more useful this technique is, imo.
@@thomasto314 hm ok. I would distinguish between coming up with ideas, thinking etc. and the actual process of writing. To mix the two too readily - and they obv do mix sooner or later - imo and for me produces clusterfucks without end.
Thank you
