Rely on it to capture inspiration: Curtain, convert outline notes into mind maps
Speaking of inspiration (opens in a new tab), although I don’t encourage everyone to rely too much on it, when it comes to capturing inspiration, I also admit that I do have my own methodology.
In order to improve work efficiency, in addition to attaching great importance to using effective methods, I also rely on digital tools to help me organize various interesting and useful information - for example, I like to use Pocket (opens in a new tab) to collect interesting articles, and I also like to use Eagle (opens in a new tab) to manage various picture materials. I also usually use [Noti] on](https://www.notion.so/?r=eb7f7096e633443fb93bbedf9f25b33d (opens in a new tab)) to create book lists and databases, and use Quip (opens in a new tab) and Evernote (opens in a new tab) to organize various documents and information.
Besides that, I also like using curtain (opens in a new tab). To put it simply, Curtain is not only a useful outline note, but also a novel way of thinking.
Mubu is a structured thinking productivity tool (opens in a new tab), which is convenient for recording notes, organizing thoughts, content creation, task management, organizing content in an orderly manner, and building clear thinking logic. Curtain is also a minimalist outline note-taking tool, suitable for structured writing, and can generate mind maps (mind maps) with one click.
Whether you prefer to use Mind Map (opens in a new tab)（Mind Map) to make reading notes or meeting minutes, or you prefer to use Outline Tool (opens in a new tab) (Outline) to organize your thoughts. I think you can consider using Mubu (opens in a new tab), this popular online note-taking tool!
Make an outline first (opens in a new tab) before writing an article can make your ideas clearer; taking notes in the form of an outline can help you remember the content better; writing an outline of the total score before reporting can save communication costs.
In addition to being convenient for organizing various notes, I think the biggest selling point of Mubu (opens in a new tab) is that you can convert outline notes into easier-to-read mind maps with just one click, so you no longer have to worry about editing mind maps! Curtain (opens in a new tab) can help you save valuable energy and time and focus on more valuable organizing work and content production.

Not only did I use Curtain (opens in a new tab) to organize Lecture Notes (opens in a new tab), but I also converted it into an easy-to-read mind map with one click, which is really convenient!
The operation of Curtain (opens in a new tab) is very intuitive and simple. There is almost no need to read the introduction document on the official website, and you can get started quickly! In addition, if you are interested in observing the various notes created by other netizens using [Mubu.com/inv/775782], you can also go to the “Mubu Selection (opens in a new tab)” on the official website of [Mubu.com/inv/775782] to dig for treasures.
