It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though. As for hand-writing versus keyboard, I too am much faster when using the latter, but for me, that’s not the point. I get hand cramps!

Alright, well, I know he emailed me to let me know I had a broken link in a post. And I know he was interested in what that link led to, which made me think well of him, so I emailed him back. In less than 5 emails, in fact. This is perhaps my most important rule of thumb, whether writing books, blog posts, or emails.

You bashed monsters by hitting keys on your keyboard whilst wondering if you could hook up a nodding bird à la Homer Simpson. I love that I get emails and comments telling me that a blog post came at just the right time. Griffin – Drool and keyboards don’t mix. Email Marketing Basics Reply Go ahead.

DO NOT look at a single work email after that. Your quick email check becomes a written response, some analysis, and finally that little voice says, “What the heck. It’s really easy to get sucked in to one more email and lose an entire evening. You have plenty of time left for that client. I might as well just do it.&#

Receiving Out Of The Blue Thank You Emails This started to happen a year ago, and in the last few months has become more and more common. In the beginning I was getting a thank you email (or comment on the blog, for that matter) once a month. not, I tend to have a rather greedy “Delete&# key on my keyboard.

Although it’s been more than 7 months since I’ve published it, I still get a few re-tweets per week and a decent number of monthly thank you emails. After I finish, I send the generated mind map as an email attachment. For that, I’m using Quicksilver, the MacJournal shortcut and self-addressed emails. That’s all.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. I’m a pretty fast typist but it made me realise how unnatural it is to use a keyboard, or even a pen. That’s just common sense, and you should already be taking frequent breaks.

Sure, it’s great to hit the snooze button and give yourself an extra hour of R&R once in awhile, but before you know it, you’re getting up at noon and puttering around before you answer your customer emails. It’s all too easy to fall into bad habits, starting with procrastination. For starters, institute a schedule and stick to it.

That’s a key point and a very important question for every blogger who had been wrecked more than one keyboard writing. But the most important part of the question is not “how” but “why”. Why would you want to convert that traffic? What you developed so far was only discipline. A set of rules followed closely.

This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. I don’t know who wrote them and why they thought they had the right to sit before a keyboard and litter the Web with, um, substandard writing. So it’s a good exercise, although a bit painful.

Things I didn’t get done that day, emails I meant to send, bills I haven’t paid, posts I haven’t written, product launch process – they all keep me awake in the wee small hours. The good part of waking up then is that I’ll often write whole blog posts or emails in my head, and they’re generally quite good.

I have been so passionately involved in my work this morning I totally forgot I made myself a nice cup of tea and sat it next to my keyboard. As I was reading your post I literally gasped out loud. LOL I LOVE this post. Well, since none of the existing solutions gave me what I want, I created my own iPhone productivity app.

What follows is me thinking into my keyboard. It can be just a “regular&# email or it can be a PDF (I tried to one like that and couldn’t keep on schedule and canned it—I’m considering private feed aggregation instead). In that regard, there really isn’t anything new. Sorry if it’s long and messy.

Sonya – I do have to admit that most people who email me their resume and quote an English degree tend to have some of the worst writing in the world… Not sure why that is, actually.
