How Emacs, and tools in general, shape us
In the world of knowledge management, we generally seek to be more efficient, not more productive. As I mention in the article How do I approach personal knowledge management, being more efficient differs from being productive in that the former seeks to achieve the desired results with the minimum possible resources, which in our case is generally time, while the latter goes further and uses the time we have freed up by being efficient to produce more results.

For some time I have had this idea in my head that when using Emacs, and after having overcome the investment of time in the learning curve of its basic features, you may be using a software that gives you the possibility to be very efficient, but generally the time freed up is used to return to it to mold it and experiment with its almost infinite capabilities. I think it would not be wrong to say that the time spent in molding it should be added to the time we spent actually working on whatever we are really working at the time, thus reducing efficiency, and not taken as productivity, since we are not really producing anything.

You will agree with me, moreover, that there are productive and efficient people who do not use Emacs, and they are as or more productive than those who do. This is because the tools shape us as much as we shape them.

For example, if we use Emacs, it is inevitable to spend a certain number of hours per month working on its configuration, and the more adventurous ones among us studying Elisp and creating new features by themselves. However, this is time that we are taking away from working on advancing the projects at hand, unless the project at hand is to modify Emacs. However, if we use a tool over which we have no or limited modification control, we are generally forced to adapt to it, accept it as it works, and mold ourselves to work with it. And, is this inherently bad? I think not, because both Emacs and the other shape us. In one we find ourselves spending a lot of time modifying it so that it behaves exactly as we want it to, while in the other we accommodate to it and go straight to doing the work necessary to carry out our projects. For the most recalcitrant, I must clarify that of course this analysis is not taking into account the level of freedom that each one provides.

Personally, over time I have come to believe that the right approach for most of us will always be one of effectiveness, but how do we become effective using Emacs, especially when we are just starting to work with it and have to put some effort into getting over the learning curve, if we generally spend the time we gain from its efficiency on continuing to play with it and make modifications?

From my point of view, the solution is either to use an alternative tool, or if you have already decided that you want to use Emacs, to do it very gradually. Do not change everything at once to it, but learn new things little by little, always keeping in mind that the tools exist to facilitate our work, not to hinder it. And, like everything in life, the content consumption approach to content should only be to look for information that helps us solve a current problem we are having with it, or a new feature we would like to implement because it would make our job much easier. We should never take an approach of consuming information that shows us new evangelical methods of how to do something that we are already doing, maybe not optimally, but in a way that is right for us. This will usually end up creating a problem for us by consuming a lot of our time and never really integrating into our work routine, because it was introduced artificially, without the objective of covering a real need.
