Any org-mode fans out there? I would like to hear how to make habits around org-mode and capturing the information necessary. I want to treat my notes as a brain assistant to free my mind of having to think of future events and tasks. Particularly, the habits of capturing tasks when off desktop.
* email to myself from my phone
* pen and small paper notebook
I put captured info in appropriate org files when I'm at the desktop.

Notes on the phone - maybe I need to reduce the number of clicks to be able to capture them faster (Google Keep widget maybe?)

Hmm. I should do the pen and small paper notebook thing. I had tried to make it a habit once, but maybe I just need to try with a few sheets of paper in my wallet. Notes on the phone - maybe I need to reduce the number of clicks to be able to capture them faster (Google Keep widget maybe?)
Doesn't work for me - I've lost some notes that way. For me notebook as temporary information storage is better.

I've tried using few pieces of paper tied by strong paperclip. Doesn't work for me - I've lost some notes that way. For me notebook as temporary information storage is better.

To sync and edit org files on your phone you can use the app Orgzly.

Sublime + PlainTasks for to do. Sublime for quick notes and drafts. Workflowy for nested notes. Not as a todo list. It's a good way to nest notes in notes. For example, I made a list of tropes, categorized them by heroic vs villainous, male or female, personality, description, and so on. And added lots of notes and tags for each. This is a mess if you try to do it in Evernote, but perfect for Workflowy. Google Assist…
Mostly Trello, with a kanban-style To-do list. I feel good when I slide a card from "Doing" to the "Done" column.
