Scrivener Advent Calendar: B is for …
B is for … Belts and Braces
Among all the topics listed in the Index of Scrivener Posts, although Nailing Your Binder is essential, check out Backing Up. There’s nothing worse than losing your precious work?
Disasters happen. Mistakes can be made. Many of the 10 executive functions are needed to minimise their likelihood and to cope with such eventualities should something go wrong.
- The ability to anticipate what’s coming up and make plans accordingly – see also number 8, flexibility!
- The ability to organise – thoughts, ideas, the scenes/chapters of my novels, …
- Reliability – doing what we agreed when we said it would be done (or earlier!)
- Getting up and getting on with the work – ie self motivation
- Managing our time to achieve the best results
- Paying attention to detail (quality …)
- Remembering stuff that’s important
- Flexibility – willingness to make changes in our plans or our approach
- Determination – ability to keep going
- Willingness to reflect on our own contribution to the team (and learn from it)
Scrivener gem
Establish a rock solid system of saving / backing up which protects you from all manner of disasters.
