Context-Aware Capture
Table of Contents
A saved link is a mystery six weeks later unless the why is jotted while memory is fresh.
Key Concept
Context-aware capture saves the why while memory is fresh - project, mood, question - not just the link.
A saved link is a mystery six weeks later unless the why was captured while it was still obvious.
Six weeks later, only the why saves a bookmark from becoming junk.
Examples
- Voice memo in the parking lot after the meeting - context was still in my head.
- Photo of the whiteboard before they erased it - capture matched where the idea lived.
Note Relationships
| Relationship | Wikilink | Reason |
