The average person has about 70,000 thoughts in a day. Some of these thoughts are great ideas you could work on to make your life more interesting and better, others are constant things your mind keeps bringing back for you to do them, but the time is not there so the thought vanishes.
Wherever you are during the day, do not let that good thought slip away. Since you won’t have a pen and paper all the time, here is a list of the 10 best note-taking apps you could grab from the Google play store and start using to accomplish more productive tasks during your day:
