![]() If I'm on top of my work, then I really just need something that allows me to build my lists, which may simply end up in my pocket. I also use OmniFocus, but the number of items I place in it has gotten pared down so much that the whole paradigm seems like overkill. I found Evernote's interface to be baffling from a creativity standpoint (I went all in, btw, used it for a couple of years and completed some very major projects using Evernote Business, etc). I'm very comfortable knowing that I can find things quickly in TB. ![]() IMHO, TheBrain is just another way to look at a database. Seriously, if every electronic gadget associated with my present system disappeared today, would I still be able to work, and if so, what would guide me to my next task?ĭo I really need to write down everything I'm going to do and have done? How would I feel if making this change was being forced upon me?Īm I spending time recording about stuff that I should be doing instead? If I started working right now on the outcome directed project I know I need to do next, is there a chance this desire to change might just dissipate? If I have used before, but decided I didn't like it, why did I decide that, and what is different now? Is there a chance that this is just something I'm doing because I'm feeling unproductive and I'm looking outward, rather than inward for the source of the problem?

And I'm not especially interested in integrating TheBrain with Evernote to try to get "the best of both worlds". I use it to create and review various structures and projects.įor personal use, I'm finding TheBrain to be too much work with not enough payoff. Evernote, with all its flaws and limitations, is quicker and easier to use. I decided to take the plunge and buy the Pro license and use TheBrain for business and personal use.įor business, TheBrain has been useful. I had used the trial TheBrain Pro Version for some business applications and I liked what I saw. Being a brain user you are already familiar with this concept.At the time, I had about 2,000 notes in Evernote and I was running into some problems with retrieval. ![]() If you've added another 10 items over the subsequent month to the original active thought, you can see how the linear systems can be inadequate. That is time you need to be reviewing the information, not searching for it.
