getting things done when your hands are broken

all of this emphasis on writing down notes on note cards etc. is great unless your hands don't work right. Most of the notes I have in my writing notebook are illegible and are lost to me because the scribbles no longer trigger a memory of what I was writing. So, how does one use these simple techniques when your hands are damaged and writing is impractical. By the way, how I use computers is with speech recognition with all of its attendant problems. 15 Comments

Most of the notes I have in my writing notebook are illegible and are lost to me because the scribbles no longer trigger a memory of what I was writing. I would think that making liberal use of a voice recorder is your best capture device. Some of them even output to speech-recog software in order to digitially archive things as I'm sure you're well aware. How much fine motor control do you have? How much mobility in your hands? This recorder: allow you to save things into folders. so you could be recording NextActions and filing them into folders called @home, @office, @errands, @calls and just cycle through them using the recorder's playback. » POSTED IN:
