A good idea is not of use if you can't find it

- Logan Heftel (comedian George Carlin's archivist)

Do you ever feel like you're swimming in a sea of information, struggling to keep track of everything you learn? Or perhaps you have brilliant ideas that vanish as quickly as they appear? The practice of commonplacing – collecting and organizing knowledge from various sources – can transform how you learn, think, and create. With Notes+∞, commonplacing becomes effortless.

Traditionally, this involved physical notebooks and index cards, time & effort arduiously indexing every idea. But in the digital age, Notes+∞ offers this, instantly, and more.

Here’s how it works:

1. Capture Your Thoughts

Jot down ideas, observations, quotes, or anything that sparks your curiosity. Use it like you would your regular notes app, or capture using voice notes (thanks to our new high quality transcription feature!). Notes+∞ handles it all. Don’t worry about formatting; just capture the raw essence.

2. Connect the Dots

This is where the magic of Notes+∞ happens. Our AI algorithms analyze your notes, identifying patterns, connections, and themes you might never have noticed via auto categorisation. We surface the most relevant notes to you, sparking your own unique insight.

3. Converse with Your Knowledge

Imagine talking to your notes, asking questions, and exploring different perspectives, combining and dissecting ideas. Chat to your infinite self with your accumulated knowledge, deepening your understanding.

4. Cultivate Your Second Brain

As you continue to add notes, your second brain grows and evolves, becoming a rich tapestry of your intellectual journey, compounding with information.

Commonplacing with Notes+∞ is more than just note-taking; it’s a powerful tool for self-discovery, continuous learning, and creative exploration. Start building your second brain today and unlock the full potential of your mind.
