The encoding stage refers to the process of putting information into memory. Put pen to paper (or finger tips to keyboard) and record important dates in a calendar, notebook or on your mobile device. Use each room or landmark on your journey to “signpost” different parts of the speech or each step of the process you need to remember.

I enjoyed having a full QWERTY keyboard without all of the keys, in such compact form factor. However, neither the HTC myTouch nor the Samsung Behold 2 have a keyboard. A keyboard is a necessity for me, especially given that I have big thumbs and I like the tactile feel of keys. These were all multi-touch devices. TheMarq.com.

And then your only task will be to keep it that way, so that you never have to go through that crazy process of starting from scratch again. It would be much easier to keyboard it but I know it wouldn’t have the same effect as writing it by hand. I do feel much more comfortable with a keyboard than hand though.

Now, when I say ‘don’t write’, I don’t mean you should take a break or get away from the keyboard for a day. It’s called sub-vocalization, which is a natural brain process we use while we read. I’m a pretty fast typist but it made me realise how unnatural it is to use a keyboard, or even a pen.

I am not a freelancer as such but I do work from home and I’ve training my boss and colleagues to stop arranging meetings after 4pm (still working on that one), I’ve been forcing myself to step away from the keyboard and to stop checking work emails after hours. You have plenty of time left for that client. Eliza´s last blog.

The process feels herky jerky, and I don’t get that surge of feeling right before I hit publish. It’s a process that takes time to work through and eventually the hope is we’re the better for it. I maximize those as much as I can, and when they strike, I get myself to a keyboard. Just remembering who I was.

I’m working on a novel, and the drafting and redrafting process means frequently revisiting material I wrote upwards of twelve months ago. This is where bloggers get a head start: if you have a blog, you have a good reason to put fingers to keyboard on a regular basis. Something similar has happened with my fiction writing.
