Keep a file: a Word doc, a notebook, a note on your iPhone, whatever works for you. No two writers work alike, but Stephen King or Malcolm Gladwell may have a trick or two that will work for you.

You usually can train your boss to talk slower by doing this. I am not a big fan of touch screen keyboards as they are not a true QWERTY keyboard.
