![]() I’ve used Diigo and Mendeley for years in serious (and successful) protest. I figure the same people who like to line up for things in shops. I hate End Note, it crashes, it’s spawned of DOS and a resource hog in my view. Word is a drag on academic writing, and it usually trows up talk of ‘referencing’ using End Note. In my case, I’ve got to write this thesis thing, which seems rather dense and complex, and there’s only one way these things get done efficiently.Įveryone is different, by my brain doesn’t work well by starting at A and going to B thinking, so Word is useless to me. Yes it’s about grammar and conventions too, but for many students – it’s about A to B. The key is to remember this is that writing is about getting from A to B. A decade of using this stuff requires some degree of conscious remedial effort to get out the pram and walk around again. Live in the pram means wasting crazy amounts of time procrastinating, experimenting and avoiding commitment. Worse still, so many things I used in a basic way, avoiding filling out the details. So many choices, so many things I tried and abandoned. Now when it comes to creating a workflow for writing, it’s actually quite hard if you’ve been bashing the rattle as long as I have. Ultimately you’re occupied, even happy, but someone is pushing you from A to B. Most of them I’ve concluded are like having a baby rattle on a pram. ![]() Warning: This post is about writing not gaming, so you might want to bail here.Īt this point in my geek-evolution, I have managed to use just about every widget and tool around. ![]()
