Note to self:

Read the entire article BEFORE starting to write about it. That way, you will avoid wrongly suggesting that it identifies a different source for the field of environmental ethics than the other articles you have read on the subject. And thus, you will avoid having to delete what you wrote and re-write it.

But thank God for word processors. What would we do without them?

Other than write something once, give it a good edit as you type it up, revise it one more time and call it done. Rather than edit and re-edit and edit again. I like to think it makes my work better, but sometimes I think it just allows me to tinker with it longer.
