As I am nearing the defense of my dissertation, I thought to glance back at some of the software I have been using to write my dissertation and other academic stuff (book chapters, blog posts, abstracts, applications, etc.). First, I must confess I spend far too much time on evaluating and trying out different apps that might get me to be more productive. I also acknowledge that I obsess far too much over the design of the software. I admit this. Obviously, it is part of my excellence in procrastination.
