It all started April 2013... well this process.
   Since the age of 11 years old, I've been obsessed [on and off]
   with the concept of a Thought Collector. I wanted to be able to
   THINK, and have it stored. DONE.
   Tried so many ways through the years, all while going through
   regular life.

   Then in April 2013, I decided I would capture EVERY THOUGHT as
   it happens.

   And so I did.

   Six months and thousands of index cards later, it finally
   tapered off. I still have to scan them all in, but it gave me a
   good idea of how my brain works, its timing, where thoughts come
   from and how feelings interplay... and this combined with a
   heavy study of CogSci and trying to map out 'The Brain'... and
   mathematics, and circuits and whatever the heck else I could get
   my hands on.

   The process continues. The website was part of the outcropping.

   I don't save every thought anymore, but I did it once and it's
   not hard.

   I set up piles of index cards in common places, with a pen next
   to them.

   That was it. I was always within distance of something to
   capture a thought on - one per index card.

   Sometimes I'd layout four or five index cards as conflicting
   thoughts came in at the same time, vying for attention, but I
   got them all down.
