Thanks for the post. I wholeheartedly agree, to the point of writing out most emails first-hand on paper first.
One quality of life improvement I sometimes use is an apple shortcut I made that calls the Gemini API to transcribe my handwriting. I wrote about it here: https://liquidbrain.net/blog/gemini-transcription-shortcut/. If I'm writing something down to then be put on the interwebs, this is actually pretty decent at it. I'm sure later LLMs will be better.
(Let me know if shilling other blogs in comments Verbotten).
