I’m no genius. Every now and then my memory fails me. I sometimes get overwhelmed with the amount of detail or information that comes my way. Many years ago my uncle told me that my notebooks had better memory than me. He was right. The day he told me that, my life changed. A tower of old notebooks and journals stands as evidence in my study.
With time, the ideas and information I’ve had to capture and process grew, a lot. It became important to somehow index my ideas. I needed to get smarter with how I not only captured but processed information. From study notes to brainstorming, I’ve experimented with many ways of capturing ideas and information.
