This is the real insight in this thread. The false binary of "rest OR work" is dissolving. I do some of my best problem-solving while walking my kid to school or making lunch...the context switch lets things percolate. Having a way to capture that momentum without needing to rush back to my desk and remember what I was thinking would be genuinely useful. The interface matters less than the latency between idea and execution.

"The false binary of "rest OR work" is dissolving."

If you're like most people in this forum, there are people who stand to gain financially if you convince yourself that you don't need boundaries between work and rest. You may even believe that you stand to gain financially, and that this will be best for you in the long term.

Please, take some time to rest for a day or two and really think about what you want your boundaries to be. Write them down.

Sounds like someone hasn't yet worked multiple years with software engineering, or any job for that matter.

Your mind might trick you into believing it won't matter, but your body and mind NEEDS to be disconnected from work, 100%, at some point during your regular rhythms of life, otherwise you'll burn out much faster than the people you seemingly are trying to compete with.

Life never been a sprint, but it is a marathon, and if you spend all your young experience-less years on treating it as a sprint, you won't have any energy left for completing the marathon.

Take care of yourself, your mind and your body.

How is this not solved by a simple voice recorder? You can process and act on it later while not forgetting your thoughts when inspiration hits. People have been doing that for at least like 50 years now.
