I have this same issue. I just wanted to be able to put my thoughts to paper. Especially ToDo notes when the boss is verbally listing out everything they want you to do off the top of there head. I could never keep up or transcribe but I've found more of a balance since I've started practicing shorthand stenography. Stenography or gregg shorthand can have you hand writing at 60-80 WPM depending on how good you are. While I'm not that fast yet I am to the point we're I can grab some conversations entirely on paper and nothing gets by me anymore. It used to be a industry standard to learn if you were a reporter before hand held recording devices entered the picture and it was taught at nearly all schools across America. Why we quit teaching this as a country I will never know. I am trying to learn typing stenography as well but the learning curve is a bit more steep for me.

Yay for shorthand. I learned Orthic. Taking notes with pen and paper is now more convenient than taping them into a phone: speed about the same, but you only need one hand, and it's more comfortable.
