Thanks very much for taking the time to write it.
1. Brain Dump: Record a voice memo on iPhone, speaking freely about anything I need to do - from household chores to work tasks. No need for structure, just stream of consciousness.
2. Transcription: Use iPhone's built-in transcription to convert the voice memo to text.
3. AI Processing: Feed the transcription into ongoing chat in Claude, which: - Structures my rambling into a clear task list - Incorporates context from previous days' tasks - Formats everything in markdown with checkboxes
4. Task Management: Import the markdown into Drafts app, which lets me easily check off tasks throughout the day.
It's a simple system that combines the ease of verbal brain dumping with the structure of a digital task list, without requiring manual organisation.
The funny thing is, I have a personal project where I'm following a TODO list for minimal completion. It has finally reached the point where a single item remains, yet I get lost all the time when I start working on it thinking on extensions or not knowing what to do. So I need to constantly consult that single-item TODO list to actually get something done.
It's weird how helpful it is.
