Rec | DOCUMENTING/SORTING YOUR SCREENSHOTS

📂

i feel like the only benefit of doom scrolling is picking up things here and there but i often just screenshot / save and then forget about it recently i went through them and sorted them in my notes app into book recs / podcast recs / recipes / general food for thought etc whenever i need something new or am just bored i dip into it also interesting to see what past me resonated with and what sticks took me a good few hours but worth it

organizing the notes app by question

obv rooting for the wild, giant mood board but also I started a few years ago organizing the screenshots, fragments, quotes, shower thoughts in my notes app according to questions. I like it because I can see how things are connected and build off of them, and it's easy to go back through things in a way that doesn't feel totally random. it also points me in the direction of the questions that interest me most, which is helpful in creative contexts and general introspection.

Carry a lil notebook in your back pocket

It's basically just an analog notes app, but it's something separate from your phone that allows for a little more disconnection from technology. Plus, it's tangible. So you can have a visual representation of the amount of thoughts or ideas that you've had over time. You'll have a collection of mini books that you can go back through and see where your mind has been. I'm about to finish my third little guy, and it's fun to have a collection of pages that represents my ingenuity and reminds me of memories I've forgotten. Sometimes I make myself laugh when I go back through or I contemplate something I said or I disagree with a comment I made a while back, or I feel inspired to rehash something I'd written. Today I went back through and found a drawing I don't remember doing. I found a short grocery list from who knows when. I found a bunch of ideas I want to go back to. I found these comments too: "A vape is sitting on the subway seat next to me. Should I hit it and see what happens?" and "I'm on the six early in the morning and just watched a homeless man light another homeless man's crack pipe. Sharing is caring."
