- Ideas should not be lost because it took too long to capture them in the moment. Our tools most be accessed quickly and in an unburdensome way.
- Don’t erase past thoughts that are now outdated, they capture your journey and the journey that many others will likely take after you. (WIP notes should be largely immutable)
- You need a system to revisit these notes or they might as well not exist. Inboxes Only Work if You Trust How They’re Drained
- Time is essential to how we remember, and should be a first-class concept in a good note-taking system.
