So we all know it's not just the writing that is included in the job, but the editing, the proofreading, and the production too.
I share my experience of a Zoom depo yesterday and how I was able to get it ready for my proofreader in 1:1 time! It's doable - but it's hard work that gets you to that point. Whether in machine or voice, we're always striving for a clean output and the way to get there includes much practice and work in one's dictionary to ensure excellent output.
Never stop challenging yourself and becoming even better than you were the last time you took the record!
Happy St. Patrick's Day! And another Monday. I'm still dragging with the time change so I'm starting later in the day than normal. But I'm excited to start a new week with so many projects, a trip to convention, some consulting gigs, some volunteering. I think that's what I love so much about what we do, y'all. Every day, every week, every month can be an adventure! Ain't it grand? (Now I just need to find time for a nap)

You all know I love giving back... and I've been speaking at the local law school for many years now, sharing with the students who will be future litigators how they can work WITH court reporters to create a truly excellent record.
I love doing this - and if you have the chance, please consider doing it in your area. The "baby" lawyers appreciated it and the next generation of court reporters will too!
We all love rituals - girls nights, massages, regular workouts... but what about our working rituals?
Do you have any that ease you into your productivity? Perhaps alleviate any anxiety?
Our job as a stenographer (or captioners) is filled with stressors and if we can develop rituals for ourselves to help limit those stresses, think how healthy, happy, and productive we can become?!
