I am trying to use Tinderbox in a similar way for life and work management. To make notes, to reflect on them and to recognize patterns and get better understanding for myself. Being still a starter in Tinderbox, the tool is fascinating me because of its seemingly limitless possibilities. One situation I am still looking for a good solution is the moment I am away from my Mac. After experimenting with several tools on my iOS devices like Mind Node, OmniFocus, TaskPaper and others, I went back to pen and paper for this. Data exchange is doable but getting carefree synchronization is requiring lot of effort from my experience.
My actual workflow is doing the reflection phase a least once a week on my Mac in Tinderbox and creating a bullet journal like list for next week in my analogue notebook. Also taking notes I do often in my notebook and transferring it into Tinderbox is always done with kind of thinking about. Taking a note from my notebook to Tinderbox is giving me the chance to keep my focus without barring myself from getting notes every moment I want to.
Also, to reduce the number of tools I have in use is reducing distraction for me. Helped me a lot.
