Every tip is gold. I usually like to finish my tasks but I see your point. The next day it takes me a while to get back into the same state of mind where I left. It goes the same for writing. Writing down the next steps is handy, I will give this a try.

Also, great point about getting good at using keyboard shortcuts. Most of the smart programmers I've come across are really good at this. It's something not emphasised enough to young developers, but it boosts your productivity several folds.

Thanks you Abhinav! I definitely feel the same way about writing a lot. Starting with a blank page is really hard for me, so I first write down a bunch of bullet points at first. Then I go back and turn my bullet points into an actual article, editing it down, etc.

Yes, same with me. Also, if I have to take a break and continue writing next day, it takes a while to find the same flow. Someone mentioned that, leave writing at an unfinished sentence, so when you come back you know how to resume.
