[...]each individual paper has its own objective, allowing you to decide what needs to be reported and what can be omitted. Checklist for how to start writing a paper *Set aside time for writing and choose the optimal environment. * Split the thinking from the writing: structure your complete storyline, and create empty tables/figures before actually writing full sentences and paragraphs. * Choose a potential journal early. * Divide the writing of a paper into manageable chunks. * Make use of writing sessions and sufficient short and long breaks. * Reward yourself for achieving intermediate- and long-term goals. * Set aside time for writing and choose the optimal environment. * Split the thinking from the writing: structure your complete storyline, and create empty tables/figures before actually writing full sentences and paragraphs. * Choose a potential journal early. * Divide the writing of a paper into manageable chunks. * Make use of writing sessions and sufficient short and long breaks. * Reward yourself for achieving intermediate- and long-term goals.
