Struggling with Writing and Presentations? How Do You Quickly Organize Your Thoughts?

Hello,

I need help from all to improve my writing skills. I work in an environment where I need to write and do presentations a lot of the time. However, I find it difficult to organize my thoughts quickly, so it takes me a lot of time to put one piece of writing together. Can anybody help me to work on my writing skills? I will very much appreciate it.

Hi,

To write well, you must read a lot. This can be in the form of newspapers, analytical articles, magazines related to your profession, etc. Before you write anything, try to break down or jot down every issue into the following heads:

1. Description of the Issue - Problem
2. Understanding of the Issue
3. Causes
4. Effects
5. Solutions/Options

If it is a simple problem, then follow this structure: Introduction, Main, Options, Final recommendations.

Search online for regular formats of the reports you are required to write. This will give you an idea of how to structure your reports. Prepare an outline structure or skeleton roughly in pencil or on your laptop. Seek the view of a colleague if needed on the draft. Then finalize your report.

Keep the language simple but correct. High-flown language is not required. As you keep writing more and more, your writing will improve. You can use forums like Cite HR to express your views more often, which will enhance your written skills.

All the best.

Hi,

This is a common problem because our mother tongue as well as our education medium affect our views and thoughts. I also face the same problem sometimes, but with practice and consistent effort, we can overcome it.
