Difficulties with 'Downloading' what's in my head
academicgirl | May 9 2006
I have an issue with "downloading" everything in my head to one page. 1. If I use paper, I lose it or forget to take it with me. Another issue: No matter what medium I use, I forget to check it. Or, if I'm downloading to multiple places, I forget where I wrote down my thought when I need it. Has anyone found a good solution to this? Maybe another site that is faster than Backpack and preferably free? Thanks, 11 Comments

I had a problem with this but am now kicking the crap out of it. Daniel is exactly right here. A lofi/hifi approach works well. Generally all of us tend to require some sort of lo-fi device and some sort of hi-fi device at the same time. When we're away from our desk/computers, the hi-fi isn't available for input, so we carry an extra in-box and perhaps even lists/calendar in our pockets... never to be without an input device... but when we get back to the desk, and we need to organize/sort/alter- the proper flow-chart sequence, etc., begins, and we get things organized.... usually there's some sort of cycle feeding the lo-fi device... say printing out new 3x5 lists every couple days when serious changes have happened. I'm not 100% implemented on this yet, but it's what I'm finding is useful. Whether you use kinkless or outlook or tracks, or you use 3x5's moleskines, or ring-bound notepads, I think this sort is what most people happen across. Completely agree! » POSTED IN:
