Pick up
where you
left off.

Keep your tasks, thoughts, and the story of your work in one quiet place.

JotSpan Journal: a proposal, an independent reflection, a reply to Sam, and a return to the proposal, above the Reflection composer.

A little context makes coming back easier.

Tasks. Thoughts. One continuous story.

A day rarely goes in a straight line.

Leave yourself a little context. It will be here when you return.

Journal at 11:15: the proposal is active again, with the earlier work and reflection retained above it.
The task is still here. So is the thought that moves it forward.

A thought worth coming back to.

The missing sentence. A useful question. The reason you made a decision. Jot it down while it’s fresh.

Tasks and reflections, together in your Journal.

JotSpan’s Reflection composer with a thought ready to save: Start with the moment someone loses their train of thought.
Room for the thought, even while a task is active.

One thing now.
The rest, for later.

Keep a place for everything you want to do. Start one task, pause when you need to, and continue when you’re ready.

JotSpan Tasks showing Draft the proposal and Reply to Sam in Open, two ideas in Later, and Send the outline in Completed.
Starting another task pauses the one you’re working on.

Find the thought.
Bring back the context.

Remember a word, not the whole day. Search your tasks and reflections, then open an entry where it belongs in your Journal.

JotSpan Search results for opening, finding the reflection: The opening needs a real example. Lead with the problem.
Your earlier thinking is never far away.

A few things
to know.

How are Tasks and Journal different?
Tasks is a place for what you want to do: Open, Later, and Completed. Journal is the chronological story of what you do and think. Starting or continuing a task records your work there; reflections are independent entries alongside it.
Can I find something I wrote before?
Yes. Search looks through your visible tasks and reflections, including older days. Choose a result to return to its place in Journal with the surrounding entries. Tasks without visible Journal history can be opened in Tasks.
What happens when I switch tasks?
You have one active task at a time. Starting or continuing another automatically pauses your current task. Your earlier activity and reflections stay in Journal, ready for when you come back.

Your next thought
is a good place to start.
