I am trying to speed up my content writing by writing rough drafts and researching...at least once a day and then going back and I basically end up rewriting them and once I get my thoughts going I can rewrite an article do my satisfaction within a half hour.
I am trying to create enough content and articles ideas where everyday I am doing a little something and hopefully submitting at least one a day. Sometimes it happens and others I fall short of my goal.
How about you?

That's very good. On days that I do not work, I write just one article. One working days, at most 4 articles.
Do not see the need to work harder than this. Maybe I should think of saving up for a holiday. That will provide more motivation to work harder.

For me, I have learned that I need to be able to write an article in less than an hour. I know for my Media Writing class, which is only 50 minutes long - we have an activity in which we get the article idea and then he plays the role of people involved. Like most of the time its a police story so he is the police officer, than the hospital, etc. and we have to ask him all the questions and write them down. We only get 10 minutes to do all the interviews and then for the other 40 minutes of class we have to have the entire story written and emailed to him. And the thing is we still have to fact check everything - like names, spellings, etc. and make sure all of our writing follows the AP style since that is what is used for all journalist writing.
Its great practice and I love that we have to do it.

Unless you a writing under a timeline I would just think about one idea a day and gather research for that first. You can always take a day and a half to write the article.

As short as 20 minutes to as long as 4 hours.
From the financial point of view, using 20 minutes to create article is better than to use 4 hours to create one article.
But then the 4 hours article gives me a lot of satisfaction in research and the actual writing.
I will write another article that will need a lot of time to research.
Do you know that there was a 12 years old boy appointed to a rank similar to a Prime Minister in China? There was also a man who got notice by a king when he was 80 years old and appointed as Prime Minister at ripe old age of 80 years old.
This kind of articles is very interesting to write, but need a lot of time to get the fact correct.
