Hi Lisa,

I was wondering the other day what had happened to you! Glad to hear you're 
doing better and hope you can get back to regular contributions on this 
forum again.

Regarding MLO and note taking...

I was actually thinking about this myself this week. My setup is getting a 
bit of control as I realised that I was using different apps for ideas, 
reminders, lists, brainstorming, research, knowledge bases, document 
writing, quick reference notes etc etc. In total about 12 apps across 
desktop and mobile! Did I say a *bit* out of control? The problem is the 
apps are all great in different ways, and keep getting better. In terms of 
combining with MLO, I'm in the middle of stripping out anything that isn't 
a pure task/project. I want MLO to be solely for clearly defined actionable 
activity.

Rather than recommend one particular app I would take a different tack and 
suggest you might think about using something with voice to text 
capability. This has improved *massively* over the last six months with 
Siri and Google Now becoming the tools they always promised to be. From 
memory, I think you were on Android, and Google Docs have recently added 
dictation support to make it really easy to get down longer amounts of text 
- via both the mobile app and via the web interface. This might be a good 
option if you still having periods where you are incapacitated or limited 
to short bursts of energy.

Graphical notes: - I'm getting boring on this front but I'll say it anyway 
- please look at Scapple
Digitizing hand written paper notes: has to be Evernote
Converting analogue input to digital: Surface Pro + One Note becoming 
unbeatable
Outline notes and lists: I've rediscovered Workflowy recently and I'm 
totally in love with it (i'm a sucker for elegant, simple, design)
Paper notes: Moleskine notebook + Palomino Blackwing pencil (marriage made 
in heaven)

Good luck and good health :-)
