I just don't write very well staring at a computer screen. I finally acknowledged this to myself a couple of years ago, and gave in to writing everything by hand in a spiral notebook, and typing it in to the computer afterwards. The hardest part was re-gathering the self discipline to use the slower, less technological method when the other was available. And sometimes, learning how to use it just right takes a while. To me, that's the most interesting part of it - the borders, where humans meet technology, and vice versa.
Progress is more elusive, achieved more by inspiration than perspiration.
I used to work with a group of oceanographers as a contractor to the Navy, and there the motto was that everything interesting in the ocean happens on the borders. For example, El Nino occurs on the border between the northern and southern hemispheres. So it is here, on the border between what machines can do and what people can do with machines. I could give many examples using the Internet, and the difficulties faced by e-commerce. But I experience this issue more personally in some of my research in health care administration.
