My problem is that the walk usually just fills my head with new ideas that I then frantically try to write down during the walk.

- nuclearnice3 4y agoConsider building a memory palace and storing the ideas there during your walk.

- Robotbeat 4y agoThat sounds like even more work, though! Off-loading memory to a simple notepad sounds like a pretty straightforward win.

- nuclearnice3 4y agoIt is absolutely more work especially in the beginning. Personally, I don't find doing work some huge burden to be avoided. I like doing things. Mileage may vary. I agree the notepad could absolutely be straightforward win for some. However, the OP describes writing the ideas down as a "problem." If the OP says writing down things is a problem, I offer that we can't legitimately propose that same solution as a "win."
- painted-now 4y agoSounds familiar. I really wish I had a good way to just get ideas into my phone quickly when on the road. Far too often I think I have some good ideas or make progress in something I thought of earlier, but I have no way to "save" it. I bought a Bluetooth keyboard at some point that I can hook up to my phone if needed, but I almost never have the keyboard with me :-(
- leobg 4y agoI use Drafts on iOS. But I hate Siri dictation. Too many mistakes which are difficult to correct while walking. Was thinking Mic > Whisper transcription > GPT to take in a rough brain dump including instructions like “scratch that!” and convert it into the form you want (say, bullet points or action items). Should even be possible to dictate concept maps that way. Or even write Python functions on the go.

- ModernMech 4y agoJust run the recording through whisper! Although make sure you hit record first, and it records more than 30 seconds if you do.

- sumedh 4y agoWhy not try voice recording on your phone?
- GeoAtreides 4y agoAdd Voice Memo app to phone locked screen have idea, press button to record use syncthing to sync the memos to your machine run whisper to have them transcribed instantly use syncthing to sync the whisper output back to your phone (if so desired)
