Philosophy, but I divide the work of research and writing into separate activities. This isn't great from a productivity/quantitative aspect, but it's much better for quality.
- nine_k 4y agoSo, you can honestly say: "Now I've found enough, and whatever questions I may have during the writing I can answer with what I've found"? That's a... superpower.
- jokethrowaway 4y agoI rarely (twice a month? I don't remember the last time) search something online when I'm working on something at work (personal projects are the total opposite). We try to limit dependencies because they are security risks and work is basically implementing slightly different services doing more or less the same things with a slightly different architecture. I'd love to have less eye strain for the worthless time I'm spending in front of a computer in order to make money. I'm worried the refresh rate speed won't be pleasant enough though: typing on my kindle is a pain. On top of that, a huge portion of my paid time is spent in equally worthless video meetings so I would need some other device, regardless.
- nathias 4y agoYes, it helps if you are an expert in the field and have a broad overview and are working on things that aren't popular.
