Is that the time?????

Settling down to get anything done unless you really have to is often quite difficult ... understatement of the year .. so I was pleased to read this article. I've read a few before but haven't really connected to them.. Of course there are always exceptions for some of the things he writes .. say, for instance, that you need to look something up that is going to be a long running theme in what you're doing .. you have no option but to look it up or you're going to be re=writing half of what you've written if you've got your facts wrong. Still, what he said can be a very good piece of advice in other circumstances.

And, I do like the Q10 writer

I liked it the best of the ones I tried. There was another tempting one but there was a problem with the font size which they haven't got around to correcting yet. They do know about it so maybe they'll soon sort it out .. though it's all done for free in his own time so it all depends when he's got the time and feels like doing it.

This one is nice too

I've often left things a bit late or got distracted. It's so easy. Found the article very good .. should read it a few times so it sticks in my mind.
