Computer version (clean protocol)

  • Target: ~750–900 words or 20–30 minutes.
  • Setup: Full-screen plain text, no formatting; turn off spellcheck/grammar; notifications off.
  • Rule: Keep typing—no backspace except to fix the current word; typos stay.
  • If stuck: Type “I don’t know what to write” until words return.
  • Privacy: Save to a dated file/folder; don’t reread for ~8 weeks; don’t publish.
  • Finish: Stop at the timer/word count—no polishing.

That’s it: dump, don’t judge, done.
