Daily Notes
Table of Contents
The daily note is a scratch pad for today fragments, not a diary expected to last forever.
Key Concept
Daily notes are scratch pads for today's fragments, not diaries expected to last forever.
Fleeting by default, with quick buffer flushes between tasks.
Promote a repeating fragment to a real note; let the rest fade.
Examples
- Today's pocket slip is just fragments - pick up basketball shoes, ice after practice, call coach back - I promote one line to a real note when it repeats.
- My work daily note today is three fragments - a Slack thread to revisit, a lunch idea, a reminder to call the dentist - only the one that keeps repeating earns a real note; the rest fades by Friday.
