This is a series of articles on my use of TheBrain. I’ve been a user of the application since 2003 and at present have just shy of 11,000 thoughts captured in the system.
TheBrain possibly suffers from being so different from most applications that many don’t bother to spend enough time to get their head around it. In the last few years the team at The Brain have begun posting webcasts on how to use this powerful piece of software and I’ve found a lot of insipiration there. I would like to add my own experience to the canon. In the years between 2003 and now I’ve tried many ways of storing and organising my thoughts and I don’t expect at all that I’ve got it right yet. That’s the nature of TheBrain. Not the software but the information.
Lists store items. Databases store data. TheBrain stores relationships between ideas.
