I'm in a rut. Everyday is the same thing. Practice on RTC and get bored. Practice by television and get bored. Go to speed class and get bored. I've tried practicing briefs by metronome, practicing phrases, looking for new audio on the internet. Reading steno from my StenEd Reader.Maybe it's because I don't feel like I'm making much progress in my speed. Maybe it's the holidays and I'd rather be shopping, wrapping gifts or baking cookies. I just haven't wanted to take the time to work on my steno recently.
I need to find something new and different to jazz things up in my practice routine.
Zzzzzzzz
Sorry to hear that, and I hope it passes soon. I think trying hard copy is great. Maybe even some Christmas-themed books on google or trying to steno some Christmas music videos on YouTube might make it a little easier. I think it happens to everybody, so don't despair. Speed will come!
ReplyDeleteI plan to practice to hard copy tonight after dinner. The last time I wrote to hard copy was back in theory. I didn't like it very much because, at that time, I had to take my eyes off the copy to peek at the keyboard to see what my fingers were doing. Finding my place back on the hard copy slowed me down and I would lose my rhythm. Hated it!
ReplyDeleteBut now I don't have to look at my keyboard. In fact, looking down at the keyboard messes up my writing. So I'm looking forward to trying it again tonight!
