actualNoteContentPart: The "Idea Execution Funnel" is a term we made up to describe how an idea evolves from being captured, to being considered, to being scheduled. Here is the Idea Execution Funnel, visualized:
  
  
  
  
  
  
  The end goal of the funnel is to help you align your intentions with your actions. The more time you spend working on tasks, the more long-term goals get done. If you think about it, every passing day is tantamount to casting your vote for "what is most important to experience in life?" The Idea Execution Funnel is the best method we've discovered to ensure you get to savor every rich and fulfilling experience that was once a far-off dream you scribbled down.
  
  Each layer of the funnel has an ecosystem of apps built around it:
  [**Phase I: Create/Capture**](https://www.amplenote.com/blog/jots_unify_four_apps_ideas_into_idea_funnel#____Phase_I%3A_Create%2FCapture_aka__Jots_) .

  If Amplenote succeeds, perhaps users will only have to learn one app? It would be preferable not to lose tasks in the shuffle between apps. 
  
  # From "Idea Kernel" to "Planned" to "✅ Done"
  Let's run through the four phases of idea generation that Amplenote has built modes around.
  
  ## 🖌️  Phase I: Write/Capture. "Jots" in Amplenote
  In the first phase, the goal is to make it as frictionless as possible to capture whatever the user's latest greatest idea, most recent tweet, interesting article, or whatever else they encounter in the course of daily life that could be handy to have around later. 
  
  Apps popular for the write/capture stage include: **Raindrop.io**, **MyMind**, **Evernote Web Clipper**, **Google Keep**, **Apple Notes**, **Bear**, and **Roam's Daily Notes**. All of these excel at capturing what you want and getting out of the way.
  
  In Amplenote, the "Write/Capture" experience launches today and it’s known as **Jots** ✨
  
  
  Jots gets out of your way to help you focus on creation. Shown here in two-pane mode (single-pane available), Jots skips the niceties of formatting toolbars, titles and tags. 
  
  
  We have sweated the details with Jots mode to make it clean and powerful. More details about how the mode works [are in the final section](#More_about__Jots_%3A_the_entry_point_for_getting_things_done) .
