Alexander,

If you’re still reading this, how did you get on with Cyborganize? I’m also curious what sort of workflow and toolchain you ended up with.

I have recently stumbled upon Cyborganize again and decided to review it more closely, as it does seem to contain some interesting ideas, though I’m not sure I’d want to use the same tools as suggested by Joseph.

What set me off was that I decided to reinstall Brainstorm and compare it with WorkFlowy, to see if there is anything I’m missing from not using Brainstorm.

I never got the hang of Brainstorm, but I’m intrigued by the fact that it forces you to focus on a single hierarchical level of detail, rather than on the outline itself. I’m just wondering if that is a specific type of cognitive operation that might be useful to cultivate (within Cyborganize or otherwise).
