Personal Development For Distracted People

I like to linger on my writing. I enjoy leaving it, coming back to it, and editing it. Then re-editing it. The less pressing the writing is, the more leisurely my approach. The writing that is least important to me, and judging by my stats to everyone else as well, is my blogging. As a consequence, I produce very few blog posts, and what I do produce often stays in draft form for quite a long time. Often indefinitely.

One idea that has long fascinated me is dictating rather than writing my work. In my head, it would make the whole process faster and more efficient. I gave it a try quite a few years ago when doing so involved purchasing special software and training it to recognise your voice. It was far from successful. Accuracy was very low, and it was almost impossible to edit as I went along.
