From Draft to Done: The Key to Unlocking Your Creativity and Productivity

We spend 47% of our waking hours thinking about something other than what we’re doing. What if there was a better way to capture thoughts for future use?

Why Do Our Thoughts Go Unfinished?

• Distractions
  • Distractions cost 2.1 hours per workday — more than 26% of an 8-hour day
• Task switching
  • Multitasking can cost 40% of a person’s productive time
• Time-consuming
  • The average person spends 2.5 hours per day actively typing
• Procrastination
  • Often due to:
    • Fear of failure (~7%)
    • Low self-confidence (~8%)
    • Perfectionism (~7%)
    • Low energy (~28%)
    • Task aversion (~50%)
• Complexity
  • The human mind covers more than 6,000 thoughts per day - many of which are difficult to put into words

The cost of not capturing an idea can be steep

‍What Happens When We Don’t Capture Our Thoughts

Goals don’t get accomplished

• You are 42% less likely to accomplish goals you don’t write down

• You’ll feel less fulfilled
  • Research shows consistent writers who capture their thoughts and ideas are happier and healthier than those who don’t
• Takes longer to complete tasks
  • For the average worker, manually writing or composing thoughts (such as emails) takes 11+ hours per week
    • It may take much longer for persons with dyslexia

‍

Over the years, we’ve invented many ways to put our thoughts down. But most of them aren’t that efficient in our busy, distracted world

Traditional Methods Make it Harder to Capture Thoughts

• Paper/pencil: Scribbling thoughts in a notepad or journal
  • Pros:
    • More flexible than digital methods
  • Cons
    • Notes are confined to your notepad
    • Harder for those with dyslexia, which affects 20% of the global population
• Typing: Writing down thoughts with a digital device
  • Pros:
    • Faster than paper/pencil
  • Cons
    • Also time-consuming and distracting
    • Less accessible to persons with dyslexia
• Transcription: Verbalizing thoughts and transcribing them to text
  • Pros:
    • Quick, convenient, and accessible
  • Cons
    • Not always accurate
    • Doesn’t clarify thoughts
• AI: Converting 1-2 lines of text into larger pieces
  • Pros:
    • Doesn’t require manual typing or talking
  • Cons:
    • May lose the originality of your idea
    • AI-generated text is prone to unreliable info or over-exaggeration
