Productivity is the efficiency with which we convert inputs into outputs. In other words, how good are we at making things?
Charles Wheelan • Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science (Fully Revised and Updated)
good, productive writing is based on good note-taking. Getting something that is already written into another written piece is incomparably easier than assembling everything in your mind and then trying to retrieve it from there.

You learn to write by writing. It’s a truism, but what makes it a truism is that it’s true. The only way to learn to write is to force yourself to produce a certain number of words on a regular basis.

Embracing Friction — From the Desk of van Schneider — Edition №254
