Why do you CRIMP?

Hi everyone,
Been reading this forum for a while… It’s obvious that there a lot of fellow CRIMPers here.
My question is: Why do you CRIMP?

I use various outliners, info visualizers, PIMs, etc to gather ideas for long term goals, and then break them down to form best plan of attack.

I go from software to software, constantly looking for something that can capture and synthesize my thoughts better.
At the end of the day, I think I’m CRIMPing because it’s more fun learning/using new software to organize info, than it is to actually just organize my info. :)

Also, maybe it makes me feel like I’m *doing* something productive when I move information around.
Once I’ve organized info in a software and need to start turning the info into action, I go on to other software to move information there (and feel productive without doing the actions :)).

Anyway… Wanted to share my own tendencies!

Lastly (catering to my CRIMP side :)) - What software have you found to most effectively turn your long term big goals/ideas into action?
