Personal database, notepad, to do list, project tracker, journal - all auto synched with my Google calendar.

It's fast, can drag and drop attachments. Move anything around, up down left right by mouse dragging or keyboard shortcuts

I use it on laptop and phone. I see everything everywhere, all synched up

Technical answer: read about data theory and database design, there are many types. One is a hierarchical index. Branches can be completely different from each other.

Free your mind and don't try to create structure. Just write down all your mess of thoughts. Then you can look at it all, drag and drop in order or groups. Add and remove etc.

It has a ton of features. But the basic is just like using a notepad. It just so happens that each line is a bulleted item that can be organized however way you want.

I like it because the overhead is low. I don't have to waste time clicking items and creating rules for stuff. I can just slap down whatever pops into my head immediately

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
