Hi Robert! This is super helpful, I’m also a pkm enthusiast and a writer and I’m looking for ways to capture my notes and thoughts on the go using Apple Watch. This is my main problem statement.

I saw your video on super whisper and I’m wondering if I should do that or implement the ai voice memos with keyboard maestros integration mentioned in this article.

Secondly I also want to maintain my notes properly so please guide me to your videos if you already have one. Basically looking to improve my pkm. I feel so scattered right now and as a person who’s super organised generally, this makes me so anxious and I’m falling behind because at the moment I don’t have a robust system. 😰

Again, thank you for your help in advance, I’m so glad I stumbled upon your article. Btw I landed here through a Google search for “Connect readwise to Substack”

Hey Ishita, thanks for reaching out!

I'm still using that Apple Watch automation I mentioned. Complex as it is, it remains my best on-the-go solution. Super Whisper works great when I'm at my computer. I'm currently building a Superwhisper helper app that should make it work better on the go in a similar way, but this is still in the experimental phase.

I'd recommend the automation route if you're comfortable with Keyboard Maesrto and Shortcuts. It does require being a bit comfortable with automation. If not, Superwhisper is still very solid, but it's just a different kind of functionality I think (unless, of course, you also want to experiment with automation).

For notes, I rely heavily on Readwise to manage highlights and organize everything. I cover my workflow in the video that is actually mentioned in this article (https://youtu.be/HO2G8u2ts9s). I have some other videos on my channel specific to Bear, but mostly I organize stuff using the PARA method (https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/).

Hope this helps a bit!

Super helpful! Thank you so so much. I will automate the Apple Watch note taking bit as you’ve mentioned.

Currently I’m taking notes in my phone with this new app Wispr Flow. It seamlessly integrates with all apps except they don’t have a configuration for Apple Watch now.

Cool I’ll checkout your videos on Readwise too - I do need to streamline my note taking a lot more so this was amazing. Thanks a bunch again, Robert! ✨
