top secret >> what to learn from spies
ezichko | Jan 7 2007
One of the things i would like to improve is the ability to capture anything anywhere all the time. I know many of you carry pen and paper but I always end up losing them and it takes time to take the pen of of the pocket, the paper and write it down. So I was thinking about what alternatives there are and thought about voice recording. I can now record using my pda but it is still too big and not so fast so the perfect thing would be a wrist watch. Checking for voice recording watches I found this site with lot of spy-style gadgets. I love the voice recording sun glasses. 7 Comments

Awesone capture toolSubmitted by for_dprefect on February 18, 2007 - 12:02pm.
My absolute number one best capture tool is a piece of software called Gyronix GyroQ. Its awesome in its simplicity. It lets me throw random thoughts as they happen into a daily mindmap that I can review and prioritize on my schedule, not when the distraction comes up. Typically it takes me a single second to fire and forget the thought. And this instantly appears in my mindmap. and in my GTD system when I choose to let Gyroq process the list. It has added hours to my day. Its an add on for Mindmanager. Doing GTD without Mindmanger is like writing and not using your arms. When I don't have access to my laptop I use a rememberthemilk.com RSS feed into mindmanager so I am always up to date. This tied to gmail and google calendar means that if someone gets my laptop or I drop it and break it I can maintain continuity if not convenience. All my systems and at work have multiple redundacies. My boss still lives in the abyss that is Outlook. Nothing is ever backed up and every little thing is of critical nuclear-reactor-meltdown priority. » POSTED IN:
