I Outlined an Entire Course While Walking My Dog.

4 March 2026 • Productivity

Most people's "thinking time" is actually just doom-scrolling. I used to be guilty of this. Now, my best ideas happen on walks - but they used to disappear by the time I got home.

Enter Wispr Flow.

I take walks every morning. Now I bring my phone, open Wispr Flow, and just... narrate my thoughts. Course outlines, lesson plans, key points - all while walking.

The results:

  • Course outline completed in 3 walks (45 minutes total)
  • Ideas captured that would've been lost forever
  • Walking + thinking = better ideas - movement helps

The magic is that walking puts your brain in a different state. Combine that with zero-friction capture, and you've got a productivity superpower.

I've now outlined 2 mini-courses just from walk-talks. Total time: less than 2 hours. Total typing: zero words.

Your best ideas don't come when you're sitting at a desk. Go for a walk. Bring Wispr Flow.

Let your walks do the work.
