Comments on: Accelerate your Mind with PersonalBrain’s Instant Activate http://blog.thebrain.com/instant-activate/ Thu, 06 Oct 2011 13:28:48 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Mark Michael Lewis http://blog.thebrain.com/instant-activate/comment-page-1/#comment-260 Mark Michael Lewis Wed, 22 Oct 2008 04:04:23 +0000 http://blog.thebrain.com/instant-activate/#comment-260 Shelly, The best feature of instant activation is that you can put in stems for several words. In my brains, I might have 20 thoughts that contain a certain term, or 20 that start with the same letters. However, I just put in the first 2-3 letters of multiple words and it narrows it down in a flash. For example, I use the word Teloscience over 30 times in my writing brain (it is a key concept in my writing). When I want to get to my "Teloscience Branding for RelationDancing" thought, I type "tel bra" and the thought will show up in the top 3 or 4, which is all I need. I agree, this feature is a serious power feature! Mark Shelly,

Would be greatly enhanced if you had something like a CAMTASIA audio-video stream providing a VISUAL on the logistics of actually achieving the result past the CONCEPT. Hope this proves helpful sooner than later, Alan Brandt Consultant Hello Shelly:

I am wondering why other applications to not have it because it is so useful and obvious. It helps me finding thoughts where I don't know anymore where they are. Best of all, in PersonalBrain I don't just find a thought or a file: I get the context as well. Shelley,

I just saw a several Gigabyte heavy 3D game on the iphone competing with the same game on a sony game console and I couldnt stop but think.... How would a PersonalBrain on an Iphone syncing through me.com or idisk change our lives. I think I would have several active brains in use all the time and would really use it all day long. I dread to think though what effect that might have on my real brain. I know what calculators did to my kids and cell phones to my phone memory :) The question then becomes do the Pros outweigh the cons.

There are many great features in PersonalBrain, but Instant Activate is my favorite. Fast retrieval is essential to good information management, and this ability is what makes PersonalBrain a winner for me. Great article Shelley.
