Back to Qwerty
So, clearly, the Dvorak thing didn’t last very long. If I didn’t want to be so productive, I would have time to get used to the Dvorak keyboard. A week or so ago, I tried to move to the Dvorak keyboard because it should reduce RSI, and because it should, over time, make me a more efficient typist. As it is, I can type pretty damn fast, but I occasionally have to look down at the keyboard, and my posture is seriously different from the “recommended” posture. I tend to type most letters with my left hand, using my right hand for most of the punctuation and special keys (and, of course, any letters that are hard to reach with the left hand). Ultimately, I don’t think my way of typing is terrible. If I start to develop pains, I will make amends.
Another thing that didn’t last long was the idea that I would post every day. Why is it so difficult to post every day? Here’s why:
- Coming up with things to say every day is complicated.
- Dedicating time to put these things in a coherent order is also complicated.
- Improving the quality of your writing (i.e. editing) also takes time.
In order to do achieve the goal of posting every day, I need to:
- Learn something new every day, so that I have something to say.
- Make writing a dedicated part of my daily schedule.
- Also make editing a dedicated part of my daily schedule (separate from writing).
I don’t know if I can commit to all of this. Maybe I’ll tell you tomorrow. :p
