One of the best practices for [[file:2020-04-15-14-35-55.org][Note-taking]] is writing [[file:2020-06-25-13-12-09.org][Fleeting notes]] which are used to store essential information so that your brain doesn't have to.
|
|
Our brain is not good for storing ideas, only creating and jumping between them.
|
|
|
|
Since fleeting notes are only made for quickly capturing thoughts, its input is often messy.
|
|
The very least we can do to consistently retrieve our messy thoughts is to put it in a place: a writing inbox where we store all of our fleeting notes.
|
|
|
|
We can then revisit our inbox for recalling.
|
|
In my case, I use the inbox for task management and writing [[file:2020-05-07-21-53-21.org][Evergreen notes]].
|
|
|
|
Like our emails, our writing inbox should be cleaned up each time we visit our inbox.
|
|
Feel free to remove entries that are not in need and replace them with new ones.
|
|
If you want to store an idea for an indefinite future (e.g., a project idea, future hobbies) that you cannot surely do now, you can create an inbox for future ideas.

(On the other hand, extending this system is closer to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done][Getting things done (GTD) method]].)
