Productivity Problems? This Works!
We’ll take a look at your writing productivity. Do you often notice yourself reading something else while you were writing an article? I had that in the past. I was writing, writing and writing but in the end, the article wasn’t finished. Why? I was reading something interesting around the corner. Here’s the trick.
You should switch writing-platform.
Darkroom
Darkroom will make your screen black. The only things you will see are the light-green letters running over your black screen. You won’t notice any IM messages, you can’t get distracted by interesting articles, you can’t get distracted by the latest news. The only thing you will see is the article and you.
Our little problem is that this program doesn’t focus on features. It doesn’t have a spell-checker, which is in most cases needed. I am from a non English speaking country so I will make some small mistakes from time to time. Everyone makes a fault sometimes, so just role it through a spell-checker after your done.
In my eyes there is one outstanding advantage. You can make your writing area exactly the same as the content area in your blog. The font family, font size and content-area-width can all be set very easy. Due this advantage the interface of your article and paragraphs can be designed with much more ease and effective.
This program drastically improved my writing style and my writing speed. Usually, I get distracted by everything that I find on the web. With this program, you could help yourself, so if you have the same problem, I think this program is something for you.
If you are happy with your writing program, please let me know which one you are currently using and/or which you have used in the past. If you are not, try Darkroom!
