Write Anywhere, But Keep it Together.

So you have an idea, huh? You’re only human. You forget stuff. But this idea could be your next big thing, and the ticket to early retirement… Or maybe not, but you should probably still write it down. Now.

You can pick your poison for taking notes on what goes on in your noggin, but if you’re normal, picking up a pen probably isn’t your best bet. You type faster than you write. Penning flat out takes too long. Plus, there’s a chance you won’t be able to decipher your own handwriting later…

Consider an online tool. I couldn’t help but think how each of these can be integrated with Paprika- especially now that you can attach files to your projects.

A peek into my workflow: My latest freewrite is about two and a half pages. It pertains to a todo I have in Paprika, but the todo is part of a larger project, and the freewrite is in Text Edit. So I saved the doc and attached it to the Paprika todo.

Ideas are only ideas until they’re organized and thought out- getting them down is the first step.
