Tools to Organize, Develop and Share Ideas
Posted: January 05, 2016
When an idea is thought of, action on it is logically the next step. However, sometimes organizing the details and figuring out how to share the idea with others can be difficult. These tools can be used to help organize, develop and share ideas.
Lindsay Kolowich, writer for Hubspot, shares what tools to use to organize and share your ideas.
Having an idea is one thing; executing on it is another entirely.
Ideas come to us in all shapes and sizes, in all levels of importance, and at all different times of day. Sometimes, we get inspired by something we read online and want to capture it and comment on it. Other times, we come up with an idea out of nowhere and want to jot it down, or say it out loud into our phones before we forget it.
When we have these ideas, it's far too easy to forget them or let them slip through the cracks -- especially if we don't have a system for organizing them. Thankfully, there are some amazing tools out there that can help us track and organize ideas in all different situations.
Here are the best tools out there for organizing your ideas -- including note-taking tools, visual organization tools, collaboration tools, and general organization tools.
The Best Note-Taking Tools
1) Evernote
Price: Free for Basic, $24.99/yr. for Plus, or $49.99/yr. for Premium
Evernote is one of the better-known apps for note-taking and organizing information. I most often use it for organizing research and interview notes, drafting blog posts and ebooks, saving articles to read later, and storing important information -- like my favorite code snippets -- for easy access.
The best part about it is that it syncs across all your devices. So if you think of your next big campaign idea when you're out with friends, all you have to do is whip out your smartphone, open Evernote, and either jot down your idea, record your idea with its audio recording feature, or even take a picture.
