Who says you need a full night’s sleep to be productive in society? I’m starting to wonder why I bother with sleep at all. “It certainly has little use for me!”
Last night was a testament to the incredible things that can happen when the world is quiet, and the stars are your only company. “Were the stars even out last night?”
Anyhow… Enough worrying about little details like that.
So… Um… Yeah… As the clock struck 8:00 AM, I finally decided to call it a night. Or, should I say, “A morning?”
I will admit that the embrace of my waited blanket when I got into bed was a welcome comfort after a night spent at a computer keyboard. But… Um… “Let’s rewind a bit!”
The night wasn’t just a blur of wakefulness; it was a creative explosion and an educational one at that. I dove headfirst into the world of podcasting, piecing together an episode that I’m ok with. The process was exhilarating in a way as the intense focus drove all else from my mind for hours at a time. And yeah… “Hitting the ‘post’ button at 5:44 AM was the cherry on top!”
However, the adventure didn’t just stop there though. I took on the challenge of learning how to use Microsoft Word Online to upload and transcribe audio files like the podcast I had just created. For many folks, including me, Microsoft Word in any of its forms is a software tool that’s become somewhat indispensable in today’s digital age. Although, if truth be told and I really had to, “I could do without it!”
Working with Microsoft Word Online to do the transcription using JAWS for Windows was a bit of a steep learning curve for me. But it was a curve that I navigated anyway, hell bent on figuring out how the transcription feature in particular worked, “Before I went to sleep!”
In this house, we have a saying for things like this. “We call it a win!”
Yes! Yes! Yes! Oh Yes! “A win it was!”
- I expanded my skillset!
- I shared my voice with the world!
- Throughout the podcast project and exploration of Words Transcription feature, I managed to stay focused for a period of hours at a time!
So, here’s to the night owls, the dreamers, the creators who find their muse from dusk all the way through the wee hours until dawn. May your all-nighters be as fruitful as mine was, whatever your pleasure.
“And Always Remember!” Despite what many will say, success isn’t always found in the traditional 9-to-5. “Sometimes, it’s waiting for you in the quiet moments when the rest of the world sleeps!”
