A solution that’s worked for us: Record the conversation where you get it out right. When you speak an idea, it engages a different part of your brain than when you write it. You often say it clearer when you’re just riffing aloud. And you get to more gut-level stuff too. You bypass that “should I say this?” filter. You get it straight from your gut/brain instead of your fingers.

I'm suffering from typer's block just typing out this paragraph. Part of the reason I struggle with writing, is that it comes so easy when I'm just sayin' it!

When words travel through your fingers, something weird happens - schizophrenia sets in. You start talking to yourself about what your saying, how it sounds and what you "should" say. It's unproductive. Yes, I much prefer conversation. Now, to find a great dictating machine. (Maybe I'll just use my iPhone Voice Notes. ;)

As a side note, it makes me feel really good to know I'm not the only one that has this problem.

From the Digg survey, it looks like 69% of the people that are using IE6 can't upgrade because of workplace restrictions. Either their internal company apps only support IE6 or they don't have administrator access on their machine. While I understand that large organizations can't upgrade overnight, not planning for the future seems like poor planning to me.
