I love this advice. Yesterday I found a steemit writing contest with certain requirements. I spent 30 minutes trying to find a topic to write on to no avail. I just started writing instead, and when I was done it didn't fit the specifications of what the writing contest was looking for, but I unintentionally created something for my own blog. It wasn't a solution to the problem I expected to solve, but putting my fingers to the keyboard turned out to be the solution I needed. My whole life I've been such a planner, but I seem to get the best results when I just jump in and then start analyzing after. That's not to say I'm encouraging carelessness or impulsiveness, but "write first" can be more generically stated as "do first" in many different areas of life.

It's not the best advice for everyone, as some need to do a little planning before they act impulsively, but it's definitely good advice for monastic and zen Jedi.
