Well you see this problem creeps up for everybody who tries to develop the habit of ubiquitous capture. I have a few shirts which do not have a pocket, then I shift the small writing pad to the hip – pocket. Then the question comes whether to carry a pen or a small scribbling pencil, so there is no straight solution. However for the the major duration of the day it is better to have the capture tool at your call.

When there are no tools and suddenly you get an important creative flash in your grey matter (say, while watching the rolling waves of the sea) or you remember an urgent must job – then I suggest you to repeat that activity/point a number times in your memory, so that as soon as you get back to your capture tool, you will be able to jot it down. Our memory will perform as temporary capture tool for the time being.

As GTD suggests the jottings must be again transferred to a master copy for serious contemplation, as and when your time may permit.

Meanwhile continue happy capturing.

Keep moving…

Reminds me of my dad saying “Just do” while I was growing up. There is something to be said for action!

A lot of transcendentalism syncs very closely with the thoughts promoted by present day Buddhism groups or by the thinkers of the intent/manifestation school. At the common root of this thinking is simplicity, efficiency, and beauty.

so i have a question abouyt ubiquitous capture.

i am a guy living near the beach (santa monica). i wear jeans, t-shirt and flipflops pretty much everyday. i am a freelance writer so i work at home. and i walk a lot (to movie theater, coffee shop, restaurants)…

so my questions are… where the hell are you guys keeping your moleskine??

which (exactly) moleskine are you using? they have many shapes, sizes and types.

the smallest hardcover ones are still pretty big.. it’s not like you can put them in your jeans pocket…

are you guys carrying them everywhere you go?

anyway, i am really trying to adopt UbiqCapture but I keep forgetting my notebook because I have no good place to carry it…
