Collecting ideas whilst walking
plonkee | Sep 22 2006
I walk to and from work everyday, its about a 40 minute journey. Especially on the way home, I will be thinking about one or more problems/projects at work, and at the moment this doesn't get collected. I can't stop to write things down as I'd never get home, I'm thinking continuously. I struggle to remember it all to write down when I get there. Currently my system is to assume that I will remember it all again at another point hopefully in the near future. Can anyone suggest a solution? I thought about a little dictating machine but I'm walking through the city centre and I don't want to look stupid. 17 Comments

I get a lot of ideas driving to and from work. When I had a Palm Tungsten, there was a digital recorder. Now I have a Blackberry and it has no recorder and it takes to long to call a phone with an answering machine. My solution was to buy a Digital Voice Recorder. I use it a lot. This morning I got an idea while I was walking to my car (which is parked about 3 blocks away). I whipped out my Recorder as I was crossing the street at 6 AM and enjoyed a stress-free drive to the gym.:cool: » POSTED IN:
