I consistently encourage my coaching clients to get "stuff" out of their heads and onto paper and they notice a huge drop in overwhelm as a result. I already capture ideas, etc profusely but I have way too many different places. This makes the processing much more arduous than necessary. Your post is a timely reminder for me to take some time out to pre-define exactly<i>how</i> I will most effectively capture all that stuff that crops up each day. Thanks Andre This is a superb article and a very clear message on the importance of effective capturing.

Thank you! You’ve just pointed out the reason for some of my struggles–I am trying to process as I capture,which slows me down and contributes to the urge to avoid capturing everything. Thank you!

Thanks so much for sharing them. I never give much thought to how many thoughts my mind, so this was a nice, refreshing concept to consider. Great strategies! Thanks so much for sharing them.
