In my experience most writers are paid by word, and write very fast. Most content writers at Upwork seems to have very little procrastination..

In other terms, image as coder you are paid by number of lines you produce. And there is no compiler, no unit tests...

If the managers call it "content", it's yeoman's work, and you're not going to get a lot of good writing in; the writers will phone it in.

Also, the longer the writing project, the more potential for procrastination. 1000 word articles are easier to wrap up than 10,000 features or books...

It's staggering to me how practice on a keyboard has transitioned to very, very fast train of thought typing. Compared to "thoughtful" writing - such as a fiction piece - it's easily 3 or 4 times faster.
