How Do I Capture My Ideas Anytime, Anywhere?

Making a habit of capturing your ideas, thoughts, and tasks may change your life if you have never tried it. I kid you not. This can become the most important part of your daily productivity. And the best part is that you don’t need any fancy software or tools — pen and paper work perfectly if that’s your preference. But in this post, I'll also share how I do it, in case you want to put a cherry on top.

Thermos - Travel Mug

This letter is to one of my everyday companions: Thermos Travel Mug. It witnessed some of the most significant changes of my life: a transition from a profession that meant little to me into being a full-time software developer.

Work

At some point in time, I decided that I wanted to be in the business of creativity, so I became an iOS developer. Hands down, the best decision of my life. I worked on both small and big teams, and delved into the depths of software craftsmanship.

Being a developer, I became very interested in methodologies of product building. So I opened a new chapter in my life and with time became an expert in both Product Management and Mobile Software Development.
