I found recording a read aloud of what I write helps me condense writing flow.

Even better is to listen to how your words flow using a Text-to-Speech (TTS) tool. I got this tip on HN.

I use it a lot for long articles that I've already spent far too much time editing to help me catch sentences that could be broken up for clarity.

+1 about this. It has been very helpful for my work.

Here are instructions for how to set this up for macOS users: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mApa60zJA8rgEm6T6GF0yIem...

This is an amazing tip! I use TTS quite a lot for checking certain accessibility issues, never once thought to use it for my own writing.

100%. After I'm done with my last draft I always read the whole thing loudly, and end up changing at least a word or two in every paragraph. Usually it's the small stuff - eg. using "he instead went" instead of "instead he went" because my brain expects a sentence a certain way that "flows" well and I've written something else.

I’ve developed that further to getting Siri to read it out to me.
