I have a lifetime of writing, teaching, musing, etc. So much stuff. But I live on the road. I no longer have a homebase. So ... what to do with the paper?
Some I have to keep (tax purposes and wills and things), but most of it I need a better way to absorb for future use.
If you push a digital second mind app out, I am likely to test it within your first month. I am on that like a wet t-shirt in August. But I have not found my digital home. yet.
Enter MyMind and MuseApp. Still playing with these and not willing to go the distance yet, but both offer some nifty upgrades to porting my papers hither and tither.
Mymind is super private and provides some AI insights on my text and images. Sorts things pretty automagically and let's me grab text snippets like a boss. I am leaning toward walking the aisle with MyMind.
Museapp has one advantage. https://museapp.com/#use-cases It allows me to put my hot mess of papers and musings on to boards ... and those boards can be printed!! So I can wrangle all of my thoughts about character Erika and then print a 10,000' view of Erika when I need a visual cue as I write about Erika.
I know, I am talking about wrangling paper and then suggesting that I upload paper and reprint, but it's not like that. Or not totally like that. I need visuals of things at the aerial level. The aerial view of the stuff helps me sort the stuff into usable nuggets.
Anyway. If you are hunting for a way to wrangle your thoughts and papers give these folks a try.
