How do I take notes while driving?

I have about an hour commute to and from work every morning. The silence allows me to explore my thoughts, but I always forget what I thought about. Is there a good way to take notes while driving?

If you want to take notes while driving, use voice-to-text technology on your head unit or phone or record voice memos on your phone. Remember that typing or writing while you’re driving is extremely dangerous, so avoid both during your commute.
Additionally, consider getting a mount for your phone. Mounts can fit onto your dash or vent, into your CD player, or onto the windshield. Choose one that fits your budget and accessibility needs.
Once you have your mount, you’re ready to take notes while driving. If you’re interested in voice-to-text technology, simply open up your preferred messaging app before you leave home. Almost all messaging apps have a voice-to-text option, often denoted by a microphone button. Select yourself as the recipient of the message.
Another alternative is to simply record your voice. Both Android and iPhone have built-in apps for voice memos. There are likely several alternatives you can download from the app store, as well. Then, simply open the app before you start driving, and press the record button when you’re ready.
Since you’re taking the time to record your thoughts, why not leave a message to yourself to save money on car insurance with the
