How I Write And Post On Medium In 30 Minutes

This is so meta.

I’m writing about the process that I’m actually doing.

A few days ago (today is 2020–08–25 Tue) I started a “Write and Post to Medium in 30 Minutes” project. As with all the projects I start, I plan out steps to make the production flow easier and faster.

There is a bit of friction at the start as I do this because it takes time and energy to organize the steps. But the payoff is huge. I’ll save tons of time daily by streaming the production process.

How I’m Doing It

Here are the basics so far. Keep it simple at the start.

I’ll add “Room for Improvement” items later.
