Everyone is always looking for another tip. :) Steph, the whiteboard has to be erased when it gets full, and I won't find the notes if I don't type them into my Scrivener file, so YES I'll type them up! Good luck with your writing everyone! Tami and Gilliebean, if you find anything that works for you, be sure to post and let us know! Everyone is always looking for another tip. :)

LOL I have hundreds, at least half related to my writing projects. One day I might actually use the software that transcribes them for me. First, though, I need to spend 30 mins on so "training" it. Hey! Maybe I need to let that be my next "distraction turned productive" activity. LOL I know exactly what you mean about never transcribing notes from the voice recorder.

Anything that turns a distraction into something useful is a good thing. :) Regarding the whiteboard . . . WILL you transfer the notes or will it end up being a 2nd step that doesn't get done, like transcribing the recorder entries? What I've done in the past is to take a picture of the whiteboard so I have the info (did this a lot when I was homeschooling and needed the board for new info). Hope the new method keeps working!

A well-timed post for me. Thank you. Usually I’m a bit more organized than I have been lately, but I’ve been fighting with this myself – productivity tanking because I’m “too busy”.
