Current state of various note taking tools

In the current apps/web market, the note taking apps have seen a variety of options. At the heart of it, note taking activity is pretty simple. What used to be just a pen and pencil slowly evolved into a yellow sticky note which soon was mimicked across in various OSs as a desktop tool. With cloud and mobile, the web based apps was soon retrofitted to offer "in sync" features and ability to quickly add notes from mobile devices using hand or a pencil. Currently there is everyone from Google to Microsoft to many other startups such as Bear or Zoho notebooks among others. I like Zoho and One Note and use it for many note taking activities and assorted features like images or clippings and so on. I do not fully understand the need for note taking apps to evolve into a "Cloud Drive" solutions giving upload capability of large files or loading notebooks with too many features or in some cases deviate from simple notebook to other format of documents.

Generally speaking, there are tons of options out there targeting various customers. As such, there is not much sense in dwelling about which note taking apps or document apps to be with. It is just easier to try our various services and spread your documents across various drives and cloud storages. While these note taking apps are great at downloading the tasks and thoughts from our head, they are also notorious in promoting laziness or procrastination behavior in many people. I, for one, like to think about taking notes as something that means the activity is taken care off and do not then care about it. Well, that is good and that is in a way the point of taking notes. The point of living a worry free or care free existence. But at some point, these tasks accumulate. Now, smaller task can be easily outsourced. If there are tasks which can be done by others or experts, one can easily give it off to them. And then monitor the end results for quality. But there are other tasks that requires more than handing off it to other people.

IT requires YOU.

Whether you are part of a team, or whether you are doing a solo project.

Whatever your role is and whether you are alone in this project or doing it as part of a very large open source group spread across the world. Whatever your profession be. Often time, there is a goal, this project where you have to do it alone. You have to climb that hill alone. And one of the key ingredients is focus. This concentration power that is needed to just steam roll thru other things and cut out the noise, remove unwanted distractions in a jiffy and just focus all your powers on just this one thing. And nothing else. This just one thing. At this peak of state, there is also added benefit of flow and other states of mind which you can harness. Totally tuning off anything other than this project also helps you analyze all other virtues such as positivity, patience, grit, passion, determination, honesty, truth, the ultimate questions of what, why, when, how, where, which among other things. The flow will put you across in multiple planes of mind where different things are put into perspective. And help you reach the highest of your potentials. The highest of your powers. The highest of your gifts bestowed upon you by the powers that be. The best version of yourself. The ability to grow your potential to something that is tangible and something that you can feel and tell in future.

This app has a goal that it will help you reach there. In subsequent posts, we will explore this topic even more. Thanks for reading!
