Smartly collecting ideas
My head is sometimes a colander. That’s why it’s helpful for me to keep a good to-do list. The easier it is to put a todo on my list, the better I keep this list. If it takes a lot of fiddling on my phone to put something on my list, it presents a barrier and I don’t do it. It is simple to create your own easy way to add tasks to a to-do list via voice.
Combining Braintoss and Todoist
For quickly sending photos, voice messages or notes to an e-mail address, Braintoss works very easily. For task tracking, Todoist works great. When I combine these I have exactly what I need: when I enter a task, it is immediately added to my to-do list.

An empty head
The goal behind this solution is not to accumulate lots of tasks or to get even more done. The goal is to keep my head clear so I can concentrate and be creative. As David Allen says, your head is for getting ideas not holding them.
