I love long airplane flights.
I especially love long airplane flights when I have a deadline, and I need to deliver something as soon as the flight ends. The combination of isolation and pressure puts me right in the zone.
Today during a long flight I finished a slide presentation for a talk I am supposed to give. The talk is tomorrow morning, so the conference organizers needed the slides by today.
Between takeoff and landing, I had just enough time to get the slides exactly the way I wanted them, and then write this blog post about it.
I wish I could always be productive when I am on the ground as I am when I am in the air.
