So often I waste time instead of utilising it. And today was another classic example.
I was putting information together for this week's writers' newsletter.
I had an article outline ready and then... instead of typing it up, I decided to use the "dictate" software on my Mac computer.
But I'm not a natural speaker and so my ideas didn't flow because I had to speak them instead of writing them so what I ended up with was a page of useless garbage.
So then I decided it would be far quicker to find a syndicated article online and publish that instead.
Next thing I know I'd wasted an hour searching and finding nothing.
Do you know how I could have spent that hour instead?
