GTDer's Choice Awards: Ubiquitous Capturing Device

The ultimate ubiquitous capturing device has the following qualities:

(1) You can take it with you anywhere, (2) It's always with you, (3) You begin writing immediately (less than 5 seconds).

With all the options out there I'd like to know from others what their #1 choice is for ubiquitous capture. And I'd prefer it came from those who have been using that collecting device/method for over a year.

Jennings's picture

Something you will (hopefully) never loose

When something is REALLY important, I write it on my hand with a sharpie. That way, even if I forget, I always get somebody saying to me, "dude, why the hell do you have 'cat bank milk' on your hand? Aren't you almost thirty?" Then I say, "oh yeah, thanks for reminding me!"

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
