AmberCadabra asks Jul 01, 2008 02:17AM If you find as many great ideas as i do every day, how do keep track and remind yourself about them so you can actually DO them?
MackCollier says Jul 01, 2008 02:18AM some are excited about Evernote, ask Andre about it, supposedly helps you keep up with links/ideas etc
ckeithley says Jul 01, 2008 02:19AM I try to post things in delicious links so I can search by relevant tag later when I need them.
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 02:26AM evernote looks interesting! I'm going to try it out but gonna have to upgrade my OS if i want to use the desktop version
acnatta says Jul 01, 2008 02:26AM yeah, it sucks that I can't use it on the Mac except as the web version
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 02:28AM I use google notebook. Have tried out EverNote, but it's not as helpful as GN which fits in the bottom right side of browser.
acnatta says Jul 01, 2008 02:29AM I really love OneNote but it's nice to have the web access of evernote (and the ability to use it on both Mac and PC)
acnatta says Jul 01, 2008 02:30AM its the same as Notebook, but it's a little more flexible (to me at least)
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 02:32AM I'm going to try out GN and evernote and see which one i gravitate toward. Thanks!
Te-ge Jul 01, 2008 02:34AM uses scribefire, google notebook, and Instapaper (an app doshdosh recommended).
miketempleton Jul 01, 2008 02:35AM I either add links to del.icio.us or email myself, but I have a hard time actually going back and looking at stuff I've sent.
servantofchaos says Jul 01, 2008 02:37AM that is actually what my blog is about ... it is an idea scrapbook
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 02:40AM Gavin, i subscribe and love your stuff. Now i need to get it over to where all the other ideas live LOL
KDFrawg says Jul 01, 2008 02:46AM I keep a text file with just raw ideas. As they unraw, I move them into a file structure.
Robyn says Jul 01, 2008 02:47AM AmberCadabra This is a great thread, thanks for posting it, have wondered also how everyone else manages it!
KDFrawg says Jul 01, 2008 02:50AM I just sorta find that a disk folder structure is perfect. A folder for every book, a folder of every blog, etc.
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 02:51AM i suppose it all depends how you categorize things in you mind. for me, it's ideas for blog posts, then ideas for my own biz
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 02:52AM so i basically need a dumping ground where i can sort through stuff later and not have to search for it
KDFrawg says Jul 01, 2008 02:52AM Las thing every night, I spend some time moving raw notes to the file structure. Sounds complicated, but it isn't.
acnatta says Jul 01, 2008 02:57AM I also use FreeMind too for the stream of consciousness and flow chart type stuff
KDFrawg says Jul 01, 2008 03:07AM Freemind is cool for brainstorming and visualizing connections. I love it.
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 03:08AM thanks for all your suggestions, guys! I may have to aggregate these into a blog post.
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 03:10AM so far I'm finding Evernote really easy. The Google Notebook plugin is acting fravitzy on me
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 03:12AM oh, do you have FF3? I think there is a bug for it, sorry! I forgot about that. I know they are aware and trying to fix it.
acnatta thinks Jul 01, 2008 03:13AM sometimes the best Plurkshops are the ones that we just stumble into - though there may have been one scheduled...
AmberCadabra Jul 01, 2008 03:13AM I do have FF3. Thanks for the heads up - i'll take another look when it's unbuggy
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 03:13AM sorry about that! It works reeeaaallly! I'll let you know what I hear.
KDFrawg says Jul 01, 2008 03:16AM he agrees with acnatta. This one has been great, although I got here a little late.
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 03:17AM hey. I tried that blog network app on Facebook and had to enter 5 blogs to follow, so I entered yours and mack's. Also Miss Attitude's.
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 03:20AM well, you are on there now. I am so bad about this stuff. Tell me about and I have to sign up. I have so many beta invites!
DebInAustin says Jul 01, 2008 03:22AM ProBlogger did and I re-plurked his post, let me find the link.
Jane Chin Jul 01, 2008 04:02AM until you do, ambercadabra, here's an alert on your topic at plurkaholics.com www.plurkaholics.com/keeping-track-of-all-your-stuff/
johnrhopkins says Jul 01, 2008 04:13AM oldschool method of emailing myself. Always with the same subject start so I can find them later in gmail
Jane Chin Jul 01, 2008 05:03AM johnrhopkins I've done that! Then create email filter to automatically file idea piles etc.
codyrobert Jul 01, 2008 05:07AM says janechin i've emailed myself many times and it usually starts out with a compliment to myself
CallKathy loves Jul 01, 2008 05:13AM OneNote... but you probably knew that already. Shared notebooks rule!
johnrhopkins is Jul 01, 2008 05:13AM embarrased to say that I once called myself and left a message... forgot about it and briefly wondered who's voice it was on the message.
johnrhopkins is Jul 01, 2008 05:14AM sure alcohol was involved. The fact that I'm unsure probably proves it.
Jane Chin Jul 01, 2008 05:32AM codyrobert that is an amazing idea. next time i'll start by complimenting myself in all the emails i send to myself
DebInAustin says Jul 09, 2008 05:09PM evernote, formally google notebook (wah!) I also just put new blog posts in blogger with notes in the body and go back to write later
