productivity (and lack thereof)


i have been busy as of late. i made friends in meatspace, i fell in love, i'm (still) trying my very best to find work, i'm continuing my studies on my own since the university rejected me.


i want to write a little bit about productivity, and how hard it is to get back into the groove after some time away from my old workflow.


i usually use emacs all the time, every day. emacs requires a lot of memorization: i need to remember the base emacs commands and shortcuts, as well as my own defined macros. not to mention that some key combos differ depending on the active mode.


without *constant* use, i feel like it slips away quickly. i can still re-learn it easier using 'c-h b', but that's not exactly "super productive", is it?


i wonder how much more productive i'd be simply using a full ide. is emacs just for hipsters? is it /really/ any more productive or fun as using, say, vs code?


not that i could run vs code on my old netbook, but for my beefy pc it might be worth checking out!


until then, maybe i'll try to allocate, say, 20 minutes a day on emacs productivity stuff? maybe i'll be more active on here with notes and such about that.


maybe i should use that 20 minutes for /general/ productivity research, rather than just emacs? not sure. all i know is that i'm slowing down, and that feels bad!
