Cutting and pasting results in false productivity! Sure, you get something done now, but you are slowed as time goes by.
The majority of time and money is spent in maintaining code. Time spent making code maintainable pays off again and again. A well thought-out module allows faster code-reuse than proficiency with pasting, and is more maintainable to boot.
For some real productivity try getting enough sleep, then learning from books like Code Complete or The Pragmatic Programmer. An interesting tidbit from Code Complete. The most productive programmers spend substantially less time coding than others. Instead they spend time in design, discussion, testing, and other activities.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
