Capture now, think later
The moment you first encounter something interesting
is the worst time to decide what it means.
You're not bad at organizing.
Organizing is bad at thinking.
Great article. Where does this go? Five minutes later, momentum lost.
Perfect insight while walking. Which folder? Thought evaporated.
Need that thing you saved. Give up, Google it again.
"The moment you stop to organize
is the moment you stop thinking."
Your brain doesn't
use folders
You remember the coffee shop where you had that conversation, not the "Business Ideas" folder where you filed the notes.
You remember reading about sleep research when thinking about productivity, not that you tagged it "Health."
Tools are hierarchical.
"Stop forcing your brain to think like a computer."
What if you never had to decide
where things go?
Capture everything
Articles, thoughts, images, notes.
Zero friction between idea and storage.
Think about connections
Let your brain do what it's good at.
Make associations. Find patterns.
Retrieve by association
Search for concepts, not file names.
Find by context, not category.
"The goal isn't better organization.
It's no organization."
