Initially writing in a notebook feels like it is slowing you down, making you less efficient. But soon, it will speed you up because | you will stop running around in circles lost in the forest of confusion and fog |
Initially writing in a notebook feels like it is slowing you down, making you less efficient. But soon, it will speed you up because | you can pick up where you left off faster |
Initially writing in a notebook feels like it is slowing you down, making you less efficient. But soon, it will speed you up because | you do things once rather than over and over again |
