So, this is my first try in 20+ years to start my writing habits. I already know that it will probably be a short term contract, but let's see. 

My main focus is to improve my own language, simplify (or complexify) my thinking and condence my verbal output.

I have always admired people that can present their thoughs in few meaningful words, without repetiotion and letting their thougts wonder too far. Some wondering is ok, but drifting so that logic is lost, is what I want to learn to avoid.

2. Write the middle first. No need to think about where it starts or where it leads, just what's on your mind: core idea, vivid image, specific scene, just to get started
- the idea of this is, that you will make the logic later, if there is

3. Grant yourself permission to write terribly.
- to remove perfection (my thought: perfecton kills the flow)

Notes as a start
----------------
There were already some thoughts in the beginning if this note, but what I'm now thinking is, should I write in English, or mix Finnish in and English. I need English mostly in work life, a
