How to Keep an Idea Diary with an iPhone and the Notes App
Hey Siri, Take a Note!
One of the best life changing things I’ve done over the past few years is to start keeping an Idea Diary on my iPhone using the built-in Notes App.
I’m always getting ideas — in the shower, listening to podcasts while driving, or reading magazines and books.
But I’d always forget them, as I frantically searched for a pen and a scrap of paper or the back of an envelope to write them down on.
Until one day, I had a brain wave about a better way to capture those fleeting thoughts.
I can just use the Notes App on my iPhone and record them. Easy Peasy!
I use this method to record my post and articles ideas, business ideas and any other genius ideas that come to me from the great beyond.
And whenever I want, I can go back through and search my Idea Diary for some creative inspiration.
To do this yourself:
1. Just open the Notes app on your iPhone.
2. Create a new Note.
3. Click on the microphone (in the bottom right hand corner).
4. Start talking!
Note: On Android phones, use the Google Keep App.
