Jordan Peterson and the Writing Process

[@noahlow3552]

"if you think and speak and write, you are absolutely deadly. Nothing can stand in your way."

[@GrovesofAcademe]

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.

[@sasha_nivar]

@@GrovesofAcademe 😮hmm maybe there is a desire for dumbing down students that enter the academic environment for less competition and challenge

[@shanemalai1615]

Read this in JP voice.

[@briefstory2646]

What a fool statement Every person thinks, speaks and writes ,better in his/her native laguage....

[@user-yk1cw8im4h]

@@GrovesofAcademethat clearly doesn’t sound morally correct in todays society 😂

I'm watching this instead of doing my essay that's due tonight.

[@ManplansGodlaughs]

Hopefully it gave you some inspiration 😊

[@somayojha7196]

Well how was the essay?

[@AndrewLanier.]

@@somayojha7196 got a 92, but my teacher said it was the best i've ever written

[@victoriketalu7424]

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

[@marshey1579]

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

[@mikolajochocki2810]

Question is, do you do it now? Because the opportunities to write are still there for youi :)

[@marylkap6498]

And in life 😊

[@ArifGhostwriter]

(I'm loving the contrast between Jordan Peterson's energy & that of the summariser at the end!)

[@Tony32]

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.

[@DanTheManIOM]

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.

[@ToweringSkills]

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.

[@sasha_nivar]

@@ToweringSkillsgreat tip thank you!

[@robbcervss595]

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. 💯

[@taaayooos]

This comment single-handedly changed my life just now too. Thanks!

[@remylebae3395]

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!

[@zeenalady9420]

What a great sentence! 🎉

[@jkbonine-burton3234]

Engaging your audience involves writing about something that remains unanswered, drawing readers into the process of discovery. As writers, our goal is to bring them along on the journey as we explore and attempt to uncover the truth. It’s essential to focus on understanding the answer ourselves as we write, letting the story unfold naturally. We should aim to keep self criticism to a minimum, allowing the narrative to develop organically and trusting that the readers will appreciate the progression of ideas and revelations. It doesn’t matter if your first draft is perfect because most of it will end up being revised or discarded. The purpose of the first draft is simply to get your ideas down on paper. Writing is a process, and often the best ideas emerge through revision. If you’re too focused on perfection from the start, you might hold back. Instead, embrace the fact that a large portion of your draft will change, freeing yourself to write without fear or hesitation.

This video is definitely going to my writing playlist

[@thepathofplayfulness]

I just added it to mine and then I see your comment 👀

[@joskxy]

Could you share that playlist so I can learn

[@ImStrangeThing]

Here it is: kzbin.info/aero/PLG3g94NwjOIpWN1RheV8E8H7_3tz7zVA1 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

Bravo. Very well constructed video, nicely matching the Title-Of course thanks to J.P but the video has a precise introduction, body & conclusion with all references provided. Great work.

[@Vromko]

Thank you really for collecting these audios.

[@shellyjensen609]

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.

[@9613ENKI]

[@oliviafox6745]

Is that why art students are more creative when exhausted as they don't self edit as they go?

[@liviu445]

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.

I already bought a notebook but have such a miserable life that dont want to write every single day about it.

That probably works well with fiction; in technical writing it's a terrible idea to just produce lots of material, imo.

[@thomasto314]

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.

[@hansruedi982]

@@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.
