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

The Griffin iTalk is...Submitted by Paul on October 26, 2006 - 8:16am.
The Griffin iTalk is also supposed to be a good recorder. I either use my mobile's voice recorder (mainly for personal items) or call and leave myself a voice mail (if it's work related). I also send a lot of text messages to my e-mail accounts, especially in meetings. That CellTel / Backpack tool looks awesome. If I had more to keep track of outside my job (side business, big projects), I'd probably be a Backpack user. (I mainly use hipster PDA for personal stuff now). I just got a CrackBerry today, so we'll see what that does to my life... » POSTED IN:
