That being said, writing from a laptop can also be a huge pain in the butt when you’re constantly having to minimize and maximize different windows in order to gather all the information you need to produce a really great piece of content. Laptop workstations in a café, at the park, near the pool or anywhere else you so choose is almost always preferred to that of an old-fashioned “office”. Distractions often take you one step back only to propel you two steps forward. Changes in scenery help you to get over writer’s block and incite your imagination. There’s something about the inner calm that outside chaos can bring. Writing from a laptop in diverse settings is many times (in my experience) much more conducive to effective writing.

This is where the ability to manage task views is important. This can be problematic if you’re like me, and you don’t like to always be confined to a desk with multiple monitors in order to still be an effective writer. Whether it’s checking email, researching topics, gathering images, double checking client guidelines, wasting time on politically charged Facebook posts or finally getting around to typing out your content piece, everything requires screen real estate. As a content writer, you know the importance of being able to multitask.
