Deadlines as technology
Jim Nielsen:
I heard Paul Ford, a professional writer for Wired and other publications, say something on The Aboard Podcast, Episode 3 that resonated. Referring to a moment when lots of folks online were looking for the perfect writing environment, he said the software tool, workflow, environment, whatever, it didn’t matter. You could do it with pen and paper if you want.
The only technology that you need is deadlines.
Ooff. Yup, that resonates. That’s been the best piece of technology for making me productive too.
