Have you ever felt overwhelmed by all the information you have stored in your computer, and wondered how to turn it into useful knowledge?

Have you ever turned away from your computer and picked up a pencil and paper because it's easier to capture your subtle thoughts that way?

Have you ever had a great idea while in the middle of working on something else?

Have you ever tried to capture one of those great ideas and forgetten what it was by the time you open up the appropriate computer application?

Have you ever felt confused about where to store the idea on your computer after you've captured it?

Have you ever lost the idea after putting it in the "wrong" place?

Have you ever forgotten what you were doing in the first place when you got back to working on whatever it was you were working on when you had that great idea?

If you have ever been truly bothered by any of these questions, then the TranSender Idea Window was designed for you !

One very effective way of making sure that you don't lose things is to always put them where you can find them. Pretty obvious! But how many different places IS that! It works best if there is ONLY ONE! One great way to get control of that in the physical world is to use an in-basket. As things arrive in your life, don't get distracted by them, just toss them into your in-basket. When you get burned out on the creative task you're working on, you can "process" your in-basket and put all the things where they belong.

But on your computer it's a different story! You can try to do that by always putting things into your personal information manager. The problem is, there's lots of interesting stuff there to distract you! You get an idea and open your PIM, and there's all this *stuff* that you need to think about.

The concept behind the TranSender Idea Window is to give you the most simple way to capture your ideas as possible, then send it to your in-basket so that you can stop thinking about it and get back to what you were doing with the minimum disruption. A single gesture to pop it up, capture the idea, a single gesture to send it.
