Energy was at 2/10. I kept losing half-formed ideas between apps. This is the capture loop I use when taps, swipes, and typing feel impossible.

What Shifted

  • Before: scattered notes across Apple Notes, Notion, and paper. I never trusted any of them.
  • After: one inbox note (“Fog Capture”) with a repeatable muscle memory—voice dictation + instant summarise prompt.
  • Highlight: running a “capture → summarise → file” routine took <3 minutes even when I couldn’t type.

What I’m Trying Next

  • Test a nightly reminder that asks “Did anything worth logging happen today?” to uncover dead spots.
  • Experiment with the new Brain Fog Executive Assistant system instruction so summaries stay under 100 words automatically.
  • Share the capture template with two friends in the MS Discord and gather feedback on voice accessibility.
