If you can type, I would type while at work. Fortunately for me, I also have spans of downtime between blueprints being plotted out. Normally, I could open the files, hit the plot button and wait for them all to be done, but we have an OLD plotter, and it can handle no more than one file at a time with up to 4 copies, or 4 files with one copy. No variations or it gets confused lol....also, its a slow plotter. So I write while I'm waiting to start the next batch.
I also hand write while I'm at work. Sometimes, I can't get out what I want to say without seeing the flow of ink from a pen and writing more slowly allows me to grasp what's going on. Its only a paragraph or so, then its back to the computer. When handwriting, to make counting words easier, I count the line and write the total words in that line on the margin. Later, I'll go back and add the total of the all the lines on one page, using that line count and write the word count of the page in the header and circle it.
