@samarsky I am using Asana actually. It depends on the thought. If it is a suggestion for a feature on my website or something, I develop it the next day. If it is a new idea, I add it to the idea lists in Asana. Anything else goes to Notion I guess ?
I am running out of possibilities right now but do you have any suggestion other than these ?
@mho22 Thanks for sharing! I think your workflow is minimalistic and solid!
I'm building an app that helps to capture thoughts just by recording them. Then, the app transcribes and structures the text so it is easy to read. I wanted to understand who my competitors are. :)
I like to record thoughts with voice because ideas always come with details that I don't want to miss, and often, when I'm on the go or doing something important, I don't want to be distracted by writing.
@samarsky You're right, my workflow makes it actually much slower to write something. But unfortunately I am not a 'recording thoughts with voice' person.
I don't use an app to capture my thoughts; instead, I prefer to write them down in my notebooks ๐๐๐(I have so many of them with different colors!๐). I believe that taking notes digitally doesn't stay in my mind and it restricts my thinking, preventing me from recalling all the details.
I made the IXORD Notes application and when I created tasks for myself, I have a function like MindExplorer where I can see the chain of my tasks, and this perfectly meets the needs of my thoughts.
I use a pen and paper; here is the gist of it. It's a full-blown hardback on its own, always tagging along with me if I am almost going anywhere. It helps challenge me with the quotes, courses I am yet to finish, and what is really important at the moment.
The funny thing is, I revisit it every time to see what I am to do next, and then I get a little energy just from revisiting what I had written there.
@samarsky to be honest, I can't follow up on all my notes. It's not convenient to search for info
either. However, I divided my notebook into sections like reading list, work, etc. or each color for each purpose.
Usually when I'm doing a household chore or during my idle time, that's when an a lot of good ideas come out. I would grab my phone if near me or open a Notepad, gather everything there and start drafting.
@k_onrade interesting! Did you try to use voice recordings so note-taking doesn't distract you from household chores?
I'm making an app that helps make voice memos and transform them into well-structured text.
@k_onrade I get it, but it's inconvenient to stop and write in the middle of a task. Record the ideas and phrasing so you don't have to start from scratch later.
I've got a WhatsApp group with me as the only member. I use that for everything from shopping lists over notes to small poems and philosophy.
And sometimes I add tags, so specific notes are easier to find.
