Summary: I enjoy reading as well as listening to podcasts and audible books. With all the information I come across, I have to capture, organize, and recall to use them. I'm currently working on a new book as well as some <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/how-to-create-a-disruptive-ideation-workshop/">disruptive innovation courses and workshops</a>. The real challenge for me is finding a single tool that solves the issues stated. <br> <br> The Importance of Utilizing Tools<br> Over the last six months, I challenged myself to find the right tools for innovation. I combined them in a way that I can capture the input, organize it, and make it easy to retrieve. The criteria I emphasized was usability on a mobile phone and desktop. I carry an Android, iPhone, and laptop on me, as well as an iPad Pro.<br> I need tools to collect from books, podcasts, websites, magazines, and emails—information collection with minimal manual steps. The tools also need to adapt as the content focus shifts.<br> As of late, <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/copycat-innovation-ethical-innovator/">ethical innovation</a> is my focus. Sometimes my focus shifts to discussing the digital divide and other things. I also need to be able to find information without remembering exact wording. I need tools that create the serendipity effect.<br> The 5 Tools I Use<br> <br> * <a href="https://remarkable.com/store/remarkable-2">reMarkable 2 tablet</a><br> * <a href="https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light/dp/B07L5GDTYY/techtrend-20">Kindle Oasis</a><br> * <a href="https://otter.ai/">Otter.ai</a><br> * <a href="https://readwise.io">Readwise</a><br> * <a href="https://roamresearch.com">Roam Research</a><br> <br> Tools for Information Collection<br> The first tool I have used for innovation is the Moleskine notebook, which I have thousands of. Recently I have shifted to the reMarkable 2 tablet. Using the tablet is like writing on paper but better. There is a pen for writing and erasing, and it stores and exports all my information to my mobile phone and desktop. I actually wrote out the entire script for today’s show on my tablet.<br> On top of my writing, I read a lot of information from RSS news feeds. I am a big user of <a href="https://feedly.com">Feedly</a>— for access to its <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/ai-opens-on-broadway/">AI engine</a>. Very trainable, it interprets sentences to see what concepts are being talked about. I scan through 500-600 articles a day and save different feeds that I like to the <a href="https://getpocket.com">Pocket</a> app. The Pocket app is a collection of things that you save to read at a later time. <br> Another tool I get information from is through my Kindle Oasis. In the Kindle, I can highlight things I like. They are automatically fed into my workflow for future inspiration. <br> Podcasts are also things that I capture content from. Using an app called <a href="https://www.airr.io">Airr</a>, I use their podcast snippet that can capture interests with a touch of the screen. <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/transcribing-your-brainstorm-with-otter-ai-interview-with-sam-liang/">Otter.ai</a> is another tool I am experimenting with to help me capture ideation sessions. <br> Organization/Combination, and Serendipity Tools<br> One tool that I found recently was Readwise. It collects and combines everything from my Pocket, podcasts, Kindle, <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/innovation-books-my-library-of-inspiration/">hardcover books</a>, articles. It also points out things in your collection that you might not have picked up. Readwise may trigger <a href="https://philmckinney.com/dont-hang-your-innovation-programs-on-the-false-hope-of-serendipity/">serendipity</a>.<br> While Readwise is great, it only <a href="https://killerinnovations.com/so-who-won-the-innovation-competitions-s11-ep41/">prepares information</a> for what I am looking fo...
