I like it because I'm good at it and I know my attention to detail makes a difference in a lot of patient's lives and medical care, and it's interesting to learn about medical conditions.

Sounds interesting. I recant my "how much fun can that be?" comment earlier. It sounds like you find your work meaningful and interesting most of the time. That is a really good sign.

One technique I have started using this past week is a timer. Normally it takes 3 minutes of typing for every 1 minute of dictation, so I set it for 3 x the minutes and see if I can work nonstop until I finish the report and by how much I beat the average time. I have attention problems too, mostly because my job has become tedious, so anything to keep me motivated to keep typing instead of surfing the web or deciding that the middle of my work day is when the house REALLY needs cleaning (if you knew how much I hate cleaning, you would see how funny that is). LOL

LOL Whatever you can do to prevent your work from becoming tedious is great. If it's driving you to house cleaning, you have a problem.

All the best,
