Agree, but read this
I tend to write āwar and peaceā emails - often times trying to explain a technical issue to a customer, and in the process of jotting down my thoughts and findings, I come across the solution!
i.e. I use the description process to analyse the issue and that helps me find the solutionā¦ Whereas just sitting there nutting it out in my head, gets me nowhwereā¦
Two things work for me
- your ādescribe it to someoneā
- sleep on itā¦ I often wake with the solution.
and, most important, get away from the terminalā¦ its a distraction.
I agree! One of my high school teachers taught me that being able to explain how something works in more than one way is a great way to master a topic.
Lots of times just by writing something out in an email I realize just how many steps Iām asking the person to do and figure out a more efficient way to do things.
Generally speaking, I find most of my non-geek clients often wonāt/canāt follow anything more than 4-5 steps. In that case itās simpler for me to just remote into their computer and do it myself. 
The way I quality check my articles is very simple ā¦ I let my family read them. If they understand what Iām doing and can follow along, chances are 99 percent of the people that would try to follow along could figure it out. lol
