Keep It Simple and Productive
Doug talks about how avoiding distraction is the real key to greater productivity:
“Now, I think I’ve used almost every type of text editor, word processor, mark-up system (e.g., LaTeX, SGML, HTML and XML), outliner, web-based editor, and personal content management system over the past 20-odd years. I’m to the point where I can compare and contrast how various systems and methods work for me. I’ve learned that –for me to truly write quickly, creatively and well– the key is keeping things basic and focussed.”
