Up to what number of pages can you handle digitally (writing)?

There must be a boomer hiding in me: when it comes to more than 20 pages I am totally incapeable of doing it digitally only... I just get blind and immediatly lost in the docs...

Love the digital; need the analogue.

Here's how to fix your problem.

1. Chill & be relaxed when you start working digitally.

2. Stay relaxed.

3. This time, you won't build up that feeling of being overwhelmed, when heading toward that twenty page threshold.

4. Whenever you feel like, you get an ever so slightly impression of slightly becoming lost in some way on the journey to twenty pages, immediately stop writing.

5. Resolve the issue of why you feel like that, by researching the actual cause of the problem. For example, some settings on your laptop aren't fitting your needs.

6. The issue is only resolved, until you feel comfortable again & not lost anymore.

7. Continue writing.

8. Rinse & repeat the problem fixing, if you encounter any more.

9. Reach the twenty page threshold.

10. Evaluate what you need & what you feel uncomfortable with. Research the actual reason behind the issue & fix it.

11. Some issue are literally just a matter of practice. You cannot fix them immediately, because you have to practice doing this, until you feel comfortable.

Now practice this for weeks & you will see this paper chaos as I see it. 😄

Akito! You are great... what a list 😂

Still, feliing relaxed and comfortable is not what I am looking for here.

The main problem here is strcuture; so ever old hypothesis, thesis, synthesis challenge - it sounds like succession but I think it's rather simultaneity... I cannot archieve that digitally...

I know a lot of writers are working with papers, scissors, glue and tape - for them the digital is just a distribution/ representation matter but has nothing to do with the production side of things...

I think I start to understand why...

Still, whenever getting 'blind' again I wil lrecheck your kind list💜

I think, the biggest problem of all is to say "I cannot"... 🙂

Out of experience & combined logic, I can tell you, that the most efficient structure you can achieve as a human in this age is through digital means. It is always faster, more convenient & more accurate.

People just need to get used to it.

For example, what do you do, if you want to search something on one of your pieces of paper? Can you just press CTRL+F? 😄

The reason the digital world has grown so much & will continue to grow is because of how much you can do with it in an extremely efficient & time respecting manner.
