I am always looking for new ways to keep my thoughts, my life and just about everything else organized. I stumbled upon Jott.com, which is an interesting way of getting your thoughts down on paper quickly.

Here is how it works:

You go sign up at Jott.com
You call a specific number that they provide you when you sign up
You leave a voicemail type message for yourself or anyone else signed up with [tag]Jott[/tag]
Jott transcribes your message to text and emails it to your address of choice

I like it because I often get ideas while I am driving and have no SAFE means of getting them down on paper (believe me, writing while driving is far more dangerous than talking on your cell phone). This process is very simple if you put the number in your one-touch speed dial on your phone.

I just signed up today, my first message I intentionally spoke very quickly and used big words to put them to the test and it took about 15 minutes to hit my inbox. However, I sent another shorter message and it was received in my inbox within about 2 minutes.

I keep a digital voice recorder with me at all times. While driving to and from work, I often say the article out loud and then just type it in later. As soon as I think of an article idea, I’ll say the idea and a couple of quick thoughts so I don’t forget them.

Going to Jott now….

Number one would be “jotting” ones ideas when not around paper. As for me, I use it to remember my music for when I’m not around my instrument. Works like a charm! From my understanding, Jott is releasing their newest version this month!
