Resisting the urge to speed up the information capture without the responsibility of associatively mapping that information demands a greater effort and discipline - what you put in is what you get out - but the results are worth it. To that end I have foregone and even retreated from the use of Android / IOS devices with my system and have maintained a single operating system in windows with multiple devices accessing one brain dataset. My position is that i value the information retrieval value of TheBrain's dynamic mapping above all else. However, the energy invested into ensuring that TheBrain file is diligently nurtured pays off at retrieval. Where your evernote ecosystem currently surpasses TheBrain's utility is in the information entry. ![]() So the first point is that linear systems appear attractive at first because infromation entry is low energy, but ultimately their information retrieval is high energy and indeed limited. Eventually you would have to build a complex search query in order to do what would be a single thought activation in TheBrain. This can be offset in linear systems initially by extra tagging but ultimately it is still linearly limited. The information retrieval challenge then becomes one of being search term related rather than context related. On the entry side, your evernote tools with the excellent addon apps allow for efficient information entry into your evernote system, following your information discovery. There is a conservation between the energy (time, effort) of information entry and corresponding information retrieval. I would say that 'information thermodynamics' (for want of a better phrase) needs to be considered let me explain my line of thought. The issue is less about the tools and more about what you are trying to achieve. My advice before deciding on your system is to first take a step back. I use it too, but only as a temporary bin for then transferring to TB. ![]() Interesting experience you have with evernote. On FebruI decided to drop Roam Research and drop TheBrain. For a couple of months I suffered from not having one trusted system anymore. In december 2019 I discovered Roam Research and started using that. Version 9, 10 and 11 of TheBrain were disappointing to me. I see Evernote is having a lot more momentum due to its fast and open development.Īnyway, what do you all think about this? Any thoughts? Maybe I should upgrade to version 7 and hope for the best (option 3 above). My biggest concerns about PB are the slow pace of software development (example: why does this feature 'Email a thought or a test into my Brain' take multiple years (!) to implement), and the closed character of thebrain developement (I would love to see a trunk of 3rd party mobile / desktop apps for thebrain, like Evernote has). There are many things I like and dislike about both PB and EN. Honestly I don't believe option 1 will ever happen, but it would be my dream scenario. ![]() I quit EN (and hope for PB-like improvements) I quit PB (and hope for EN-like improvements), orģ. something magical happens EN and PB team up and merge their functionalitiesĢ. On my iphone I use the Captio app to quickly add any thoughts into my Action pending notebook in EN via email.Īnyway, I'd like to go back to one trusted system. I'm now using EN apps like Clearly and Clip to Evernote in my Chrome browser to quickly add stuff of my interest (something I did in my brain before with lots of manual labour). Now I was using not one trusted system anymore, but two! The biggest overlap between my EN and PB is due to my +interests tag. My tags in Evernote are: #projects (GTD 10.000ft), $domains (GTD 20.000ft), :roles (GTD 20.000ft), +interests, and I became aware I was in trouble. Quickly after that, I started using it for my GTD practice (based on ). First just to scan and store my incoming (snail)mail. I'm in doubt.Ī while ago I started using Evernote. I've been using Personalbrain for many years now. PersonalBrain 4.3 Experimental Release Archive
