I disagree with Cal about the anti-GTD, pro-timeblocking advice but this is gold.

I needed this advice because no matter how smug I am about not being on Reels or X or whatever, I do go through periods of spending way too much time chatting to bots. I never ever post slop from it but I paste or write my own ideas into it for cheerleading or validation or just comfort and it’s such an awful habit. Plus sometimes help with Python although usually it can’t help because Python is beyond helping.

I’m quicker typing than writing of course after decades of using a keyboard. But I adapted, my cursive writing slowly came back to me and I started writing faster and faster.

I’m impressed by all y’all journaling in longhand, I’m not sure I would be able to do that (I journal in shorthand). But it’s true that you do get faster; I’ve gotten a lot faster these past few years since I started writing more handwritten letters.
