Usually when I write a blog post, I sit at my computer, put in my headphones, listen to my favorite Pandora station, and type until my fingers fall off. Hopefully, a few hours later, I have something that is awesome.

Today is a little different. I'm not really typing - I'm writing this blog post on Evernote "by talking". And it only took me ten minutes.

I wanted to test this, although being a staff writer at HubSpot means that I have plenty of time to blog, I have also worked in places where I did not have that luxury. When you are balancing 100 different tasks, it is hard to actually take the time to sit down and write. (Or maybe writing is not just your strongest suit.)

Luckily, with a little creativity, it is actually still quite easy for you to blog. So in the spirit of being meta, I'm going to show you how to write a blog post without actually writing "anything". In just 30 minutes (I added on an additional twenty minutes to give you buffer time for importing, formatting, and editing) you sho have a polished draft ready to publish. So let's get it!

How to write a blog post quickly
1) Download Evernote on your phone and make sure Siri is on.
First you need to download Evernote. I use Evernote both on my computer and on my phone - I'm actually recording this on my phone right now. Evernote is available for both Mac and PC, and iPhone and Android. Voice recording is best done on your phone, because your desktop only records audio files - not transcribing them. However, if you want to record on the desktop, it is possible. Also, if you have an iPhone, make sure Siri is enabled ("Settings," then click "Siri").

2) Open a new note and write a quick outline.
After this, you open a new note and start writing. To stay on point, I outlined what I wanted to say in the post before the start.

3) Click on the microphone button to start recording. Then, start speaking!

Evernote does not record forever (it cuts off after 30 seconds or so), so I would suggest speaking each recording to an individual recording. And remember, like any blog post you write, your oral blog post should have a general introduction, a couple body point and a conclusion.

So, to begin with, I just talk about what I want to teach someone. This can be something really simple like how I ...

Okay… this was going nowhere, so I thought in this paragraph I am about to start. As you can see, it is very easy to get off track when you are talking, so if you feel that happening, just cut yourself and start over. Don't think about how your voice is, just think of the words you are saying and how they will appear on the page. No one will know if you are fighting with your words. Also, you can edit it later.

(I'm going to be really grateful for the editing process after this.)

4) Once you are done with the post, double check it to see if you have forgotten anything.
Before completing the work, scroll through your blog post draft to see if you are missing any important points. You can obviously edit and add content later, but to cut down on editing time, you can add it orally to a paragraph or sentence when you need it.

In fact, I have taken this step in this paragraph. I actually forgot this step when I was first talking through the post, but I realized that it was a necessary step after I did what I was going to miss.

5) Go to edit on your desktop. Check for spelling, grammar and funky words.
Now it's time to turn off your phone and edit. Evernote automatically syncs your notes with your desktop to mobile, so you don't have to do anything - just exit your note and then go back to your desktop. On your desktop, click "File" then "Sync" Make sure you have the most updated version to work with.

Now it is time for editing. Go through and read the post carefully to ensure that Evernote got all your words correct. The Evernote itself will not be inserted into any punctuation marks, so be sure to add appropriate periods, commas, and quotes so that the post naturally flows while reading.

Also make sure that Evernote has translated your words correctly. Sometimes you may think that you said something clearly, but Evernote didn't pick it up. You will also want to make sure that you are catching all the small typos that can crop up (for example, you vs.). Finally, make sure your concepts are communicated clearly through the text - sometimes when you're speaking a sentence, it sounds greatgreat .
