The computer cuts my production time in half. I love it.

I swing between procrastination and being really thorough so either way things aren't getting done quickly.

I'm always working. I don't really set limits. I tend to go in bursts. And in between, I'm doing my taxes, answering the phone, and all those kinds of things. I waste a lot of time. Computers take a lot of time. I love computers.

Another time factor is output: proofing and printing. That is, getting your work out of the computer and onto paper and having it satisfy you. It can be time consuming and expensive.

I think of all my time as existing in 15-minute blocks. Most people think in terms of 30-minute chunks, but I've found that when I free up more time, I waste it.

The best way to fill time is to waste it.

The only way to have time is to shut down and then do what you want to do.

I'm at my best when I'm working. I just recently learned how to find balance and deal with downtime and take advantage of it.

I couldn't understand why my productivity went down when I had deliberately made more time available to write. Then I realized it was because I wasn't flying as much.
