google really is a panacea

I was having a hard time finishing up some work - which is why I was blogging so much last night. I don’t have to write many reports, most of the writing I do is the 1-2 hours of emailing I do each day or it’s blogging.

I rarely open text editors. So when I was having serious procrastinating difficulties on this report I decided to copypaste it into gmail and work on it there. 40 minutes later I was done.

weird. definitely an experience to be re-tried.

    Veeeeeeery interesting… Recontextualization.

    I don’t think it’s Google/Gmail… it’s email itself. I seem to have the same with Mail.app. I know many people who use Mail as their text editor AND filing system all in one. Throw in IMAP and you have automatic backups.

    The creepy part is that I understand.
