> You realize that I'm not talking about a problem that you either have or you don't, but one that everyone has to some degree, right?

i don't see it that way. i especially don't see it as involving "willpower". i see it more as a specific skill.

now, as i said quite clearly, some people lack the skill. and some of those people will be totally unable to learn it. the most unfortunate ones should adopt your 2-stage workflow.

but most people can learn to drop the procrastination habit and pick up the skill of simultaneous writing and layout.

plus, on the other side, some people thrive on that method. not just do they not "have a problem" with it, to any degree, but they actually perform better when they work in that way.

> It's (sadly) not usually feasible in large orgs, given that there are separate teams with separate skillsets

i agree that such organizations won't change their workflow.

but i'm not really all that interested in empowering _them_.

it's much better if i don't get started on either of those topics... :+)
