Make Use Of Hand Held Recorders And Speak & Type Software

When writing something I am passionate about and want to lose myself in my work I use a program on my computer that will type what I am saying. Not only does this allow me to focus more on my work then the actual writing part but it allows me to work at a much faster pace.

When I am researching and not yet to the point of writing I sometimes carry around a mini recorder so I can record ideas I have and not worry about loosing them. When driving sometimes I can write a whole paper while just thinking out loud.
