Edison documented 5 million ideas. Einstein filled 80,000 pages with his "thought experiments." Your brain can only handle 7 thoughts at once - yet you're trying to juggle 48 per minute. This invisible battle is destroying your mental clarity, and adding more productivity apps only makes it worse. In this module, you'll discover how Da Vinci, Edison, and Einstein solved this exact problem, leaving behind a combined 5 million+ pages of documented thoughts. Here's what we'll cover: - The "Three Laws of Cognitive Capture" that Da Vinci, Edison, and Einstein used to maintain optimal mental performance - Why your current note-taking system is creating more mental fog (even if you're using the latest productivity apps) - How to build your modern "vessel" for capturing thoughts at the speed of thinking - Step-by-step setup for both desktop and mobile to ensure you never lose another idea Key Takeaways: - The "Cognitive Leak Effect": Using multiple capture systems progressively deteriorates mental clarity and strategic capacity, creating more mental fog than they solve. The "Three Laws of Cognitive Capture": - Speed: Capture must happen within 3 seconds or the mind resists - Unified Access: One system accessible everywhere - Hidden History: Previous captures must remain out of sight to prevent trigger loops Links: - Todoist.com: http://todoist.com/ - Raycast: https://raycast.com/?via=cellular - Todoist extension: https://www.raycast.com/doist/todoist - Todoist mobile: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/todoist-to-do-list-calendar/id572688855 - Apple Shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/a9c937ecaa3c42288706f38b6623b4f4 Actions: Step 1: Desktop Setup (MacBook) - Install Todoist - Create free account at todoist.com - Download desktop application - Log in with your account - Configure Raycast Todoist Integration - (install Raycast if you haven't done this already) - Install Todoist extension from store - Copy API token from Todoist - Settings → Integrations → Developer - Paste token in Raycast extension settings - Set Quick Add Task hotkey (recommended: Option + A) Step 2: Mobile Setup (iPhone) - Install Todoist Mobile - Download from App Store - Log in with same account - No additional configuration needed - Configure Shortcuts (import shortcut) - Create new shortcut - Add "Create Todoist Task" action - Configure to: - Ask for input - Save to Inbox - Disable "Open when run" - Add to Home Screen - (Optional) Set as Back Tap action Additional optimizations: - Add shortcut to Lock Screen - Configure Action Button (iPhone 15 Pro +) - Set up custom Focus Mode integration - Enable widget for quick access
