Keeping track of everything is harder than ever. Ever since ChatGPT came out with memory, projects and, custom GPTs, I've been trying to use it to build a repository of my thoughts and notes. While all were decent in the short term or for specific uses - they were terrible containers to store everything and be able to access what you need in a moment's notice. Enter Mem. As I grew more frustrated, I saw a post on Nate's Substack about building your second brain. His options included Notion, Obsidian, and Mem with clear observations on the value that each posed. Mem stuck out to me as the most obvious choice for the way that I work with the lowest overhead, the lowest maintenance, and the lowest effort to recall notes and ideas from yesterday all the way back to years ago. I've been part of the Beta group for a couple of months now, putting Mem through its paces and testing its capabilities. With anywhere between 10 and 30 notes created a day and recording transcripts lasting from 2 minutes to 3 hours, and I can say this is absolutely the best evolution that note-taking apps have ever made. Is it perfect yet? Of course not. If you are looking for a perfect app, they don't exist. Is it better than anything else currently available and something you should seriously try to help you organize your thoughts, your life, and raise the bar on your own work... absolutely. Kevin and his team are constantly innovating and listening to their users to build what we need. Give it a try, and by that I mean commit to using it with the philosophy that nothing is perfect, but that this might be the closest thing to it and getting closer every day.
