It’s worth a read. [...]

I must be really ADD, because I listen to podcasts, have email read to me by my Mac, while working in other applications on my computer.

It is a bad habit and in the end probably less productive that if I focused on one thing, but I just cant help myself :-)

I’ve recently written about a need for “margin” and simplification in our lives for over committing on a macro level, but this hits home on a micro level.

Here I sit amongst comps for a freelance project, business cards from people I met at the last networking event, tear outs regarding articles I want to write on, and magazines and papers that I have yet to read. How pathetic is that?

I have not used voice recognition software but I have been thinking about taking the plunge. I have a dozen micro-cassettes from an interview I had with my Dad about his days as a pilot flying AF1. Anybody have a good recommendation for software to get these into my MacBook Pro for editing within Word?

Appreciate the article and any insights!
-Eric

I’ve been using dragon naturally speaking for approximately four years. I’m a marketing strategist. It’s not uncommon for me to spend 14 to 16 hours a day in front of my computer monitor. It’s nice to be able to setback and listen to it read to me and give my eyes a welcome rest.

Well just thought I would share my thoughts, by the way a good article.
