Hey @afilina , I remember once you were searching an app for mind map if I recall. Did you find it ? Did you try something like https://korben.info/goblin-tools-des-ia-minimalistes-pour-vaincre-la-procrastination.html ?

Si vous êtes comme moi, il est probable que vous vous mettiez à procrastiner très fort lorsqu’une tâche à faire vous parait trop grosse ou trop floue ...

@neirda Trying to avoid AI as much as I can. I just use paper for mindmaps.
@afilina yup I tend to avoid AI as well. Wondering though if it could help in such cases... I remember that you mentioned that the current way of taking notes of ideas was too slow compared to what you have in mind. Paper doesn't seem to answer this issue.
@neirda Oh, mindmaps and notetaking are distinct things for me. One is for planning things like a blog post or presentation. The other, at least the version where I struggle, is for capturing a deep understanding in a way I can revisit later. My thoughts are too abstract and go too fast for this. The only solution is to invent something that plugs directly into my brain, records the raw data, then feeds it back to my brain later to "restore the session" :)
@neirda Or at least something along the lines of the Stargate SG-1 episode "Learning Curve".
@afilina yup I see your point. I was more into "save your thoughts" from harry Potter. But I have the same needs. That's why I remember this and was wondering if you found anything useful. I try to work on my memory with different exercise to create a sort of second memory. But daily things get in the way of the rigor it requires.
