I typically add them to my Notion collection, but I rarely revisit them :D

@luobaishun How often do you add them? Do you use it on a mobile or desktop more for this?

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.
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.

@godstime_nwabue That is so great! Do you use any specific organizing system or just your method?

I store my thoughts digitally in a note-taking app for easy access :)

I don't use an app to capture my thoughts; instead, I prefer to write them down in my notebooks πππ(I have so many of them with different colors!π). I believe that taking notes digitally doesn't stay in my mind and it restricts my thinking, preventing me from recalling all the details.

@felicitias And how do you work with them later?

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.

And sometimes I add tags, so specific notes are easier to find.

@pixeleonard That is interesting! Why do you end up with that system? And do you use voice memos inside your group?
Notion is my second brain. Everything is noted down under specific categories in my notion template.

@cameronscully_ That is great! Did you develop your system from scratch or use some template?
And how many hours a day do you invest in it?

@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 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 ?
good old analog note taking

@hussein_hashish Do you somehow revisit them later?

I have an Iphone. Here on notes or in my diary when I'm at home :) It depends on where it occurs to me :)
I use a combination of note-taking apps and voice memos to capture my thoughts efficiently.

@sanyan_ wow! I'm making an app that helps make voice memos and transform them into well-structured text. Can we chat about your way of doing it? Where can I write you?
