A personal podcast is an interesting idea. One thing I do is carry a digital recorder with me, which can be a great way for capturing notes/thoughts. These are getting cheaper and cheaper. I've also been trying to use Evernote, though I haven't quite made it part of my routine yet. - Jeff Parag – Thanks for commenting. A personal podcast is an interesting idea.

I am a software developer and I often forget how I solved a problem just a few days back. I have now started taking short notes of almost every new thing I do and reviewing them in boring meetings (or while waiting for things) :-) I am also thinking of creating a personal podcast (just for myself) where I can record the new things I learned or encountered in the current week. It will serve as a review and will help me archive my notes in yet another medium. However I am not very sure of the time it will take to create it. In the age of information overload, I also feel that it is important to restrict the amount of information we take in. I have often notices that when I take in way more information than I can remember, I forget everything. I have not yet become very disciplined about this information diet, but I get this ever growing feeling that it is as important as taking notes of important things.

Reach supports my personal experience, the more modalities (see, hear, speak, touch, write, ...) involved in learning, the more we learn. I wholeheartedly concur!
