Can you elaborate a bit on your workflow? I also struggle with this.

Here's my daily task management system:

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.
