# 📥 Inbox
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your capture zone for new ideas, quick thoughts, and unprocessed information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Purpose
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Inbox is a **temporary** holding area designed for:
|
||
|
|
- Quick capture without worrying about organization
|
||
|
|
- Daily notes and journaling
|
||
|
|
- Web clippings and interesting finds
|
||
|
|
- Meeting notes before processing
|
||
|
|
- Random thoughts and ideas
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to Use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Daily Workflow
|
||
|
|
1. **Capture first, organize later** - Don't slow down to categorize
|
||
|
|
2. **Use daily notes** - One note per day for stream of consciousness
|
||
|
|
3. **Dump links and quotes** - Save now, process later
|
||
|
|
4. **Don't let it pile up** - Process weekly
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Weekly Processing
|
||
|
|
Every week, review your inbox and:
|
||
|
|
- Move project-related notes to `01_Projects/`
|
||
|
|
- Move ongoing topics to `02_Areas/`
|
||
|
|
- Move reference material to `03_Resources/`
|
||
|
|
- Archive completed items to `04_Archive/`
|
||
|
|
- Delete what's no longer relevant
|
||
|

|
### Quick Capture
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Create a new note in 00_Inbox called [title]
|
||
|
|
with these thoughts: [content]
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Process Inbox
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Review all notes in 00_Inbox.
|
||
|
|
Help me decide where each should go
|
||
|
|
based on the PARA method.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Find Connections
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Look at recent notes in my inbox.
|
||
|
|
What patterns or themes do you see?
|
||
|
|
What existing notes might these connect to?
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tips
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Don't aim for perfection** - The inbox is meant to be messy
|
||
|
|
- **Use descriptive filenames** - Makes processing easier
|
||
|
|
- **Date your notes** - YYYY-MM-DD format helps with sorting
|
||
|
|
- **Link liberally** - Even to notes that don't exist yet
|
||
|
|
- **Review regularly** - Don't let items sit for more than 2 weeks
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
