If you have ever been before in the sprints, most of you have probably noticed you sometimes do naught in them. I find myself often in this situation, but it is due to several personal factors which will thankfully, end soon. However, for those of you that can sprint freely, I have a method of writing suited for you.
While chatting take annotations on what you are going to write about in the sprint to already have an idea. Use simple words in the case you lack synonyms, since you can edit it later and polish it. Dedicate a certain amount of time to ONLY writing: multitasking makes sprints useless, since most times of the ten minutes you will write three.
Regarding stimulation, music or some background sound is welcome as long as it doesn't have vocals and is likeable to the hearing. The reason for no vocals is to allow thought, as when you listen to a song, you 'read', interpret it. And creating while interpreting isn't exactly easy. It is like trying to talk with someone when someone else is speaking louder: it distracts you from your thoughts.
After you do a certain amount of time you set: STOP. Have something to drink, think on other things, maybe do chores. It will broaden your view, relax your mind and make you feel rested for the next round.
