What’s your bookwheel?

Is there a system, space, or habit that helps you hold multiple ideas at once without feeling overwhelmed or distracted?

I’m going to check out MyMind but I’ve been using Sublime AI.

It seems very similar.

There are so many tools out there to organise content, ideas, task, etc. It's actually super easy to get lost. From my perspective, it's really important to avoid using a different tool for every single task you have. I believe it's better to focus on a couple of digital assistants which are able to organise your stuff globally. At the end, most of the core functionalities of all these sweet little problem-solving tools are literally the same, just the interface differs. I personally use Google Workspace and Miro boards, but Evernote is quite effective too …

Agreed. I used to use Evernote too, but lately I’ve found myself preferring MyMind. Feels more like an extension of how my brain actually stores ideas.

What a delightful invention! Thomas Jefferson designed a book stand that held four books...you rotate it. That seems a bit more on target number wise. I actually read much the same way as you describe...several at once. But I read nonfiction differently than fiction. I scan headers before spending time on the small print. Typically, I'll review my reading each weekend, kind of like checking in on the refrigerator. What needs to go and what is definitely staying. It's old school, but then, some think reading books is, too...

I love that idea of checking your book pile like checking your refrigerator!
