Write whatever comes to mind as soon as it comes to mind. Repeat this as you read each question or section of the application
2. Hire a professional grant writer (do these exist?)
3. Tell an motivated undergrad or your PhD student to do it. Academic careers are built on free labor
4. Name drop the most cited reference for the topic of interest you're applying for
5. Make a list of ways to figure out who the decision maker is
6. Take a typing course to increase wpm
7. Use shorter simpler sentences
8. Set a visual timer and race the clock to finish a section
9. Do nothing but revise after you complete your shit -draft
10. Ask others to proofread. One in each timezone of US, UK and Australia so that progress is made 24/7
