Is there a pressing reason to avoid Evernote?
Pressing? No, but I'd prefer something better designed and built -- to me, Evernote (at least the Android version) feels glitchy and unpolished. It lost two batches of notes due to a sync gone wrong (thankfully, both batches were already processed), it doesn't lock the phone screen in response to the proximity sensor, it requires too many taps/clicks for basic tasks etc.
I just noticed how much effort I put into remembering what I was thinking-- I do a lot of "I had an interesting idea about that which I wanted to include-- what was the idea?".
It can take at least 3 or 4 repetitions before the idea finally gets typed out, partly because I might be typing or formulating something else and then want to get back to an earlier idea.
I'd be amazed if I were the only person here with this problem. Any suggestions? Does dual n-back help?
