This cool-looking, petite but not-too-small-for-human-thumbs device goes with me everywhere in my car to record those thoughts that only reach their crystalline brilliance in the shower and behind the wheel.
Because I follow David Allen’s Getting-Things-Done approach of relieving my brain of remembering stuff so that it can do the creative and productive thinking it does best, I need to transition other thoughts immediately to a safe written or recorded medium that will allow me to return to them at the right moment. Written communication from behind the wheel of a car has always been a little precarious, so I’ve sworn off it entirely except at red lights.
How? By investing in this little gizmo and keeping it within handy reach of the driver’s seat.
It’s almost too good to be true. This Chinese-made Olympus product allows you to record into four separate archives and also has available voice-activation. You can also use it as an alarm clock, stopwatch, and other common functions of electronic gizmos.
Mobile phone technology is rapidly overtaking self-standing electronics pieces like this one, but for my money this digital voice recorder is a Godsend.
