Sometimes I event write something out of it. Sometimes I go back and expand on things. Have a thought? Just make a note, doesn't matter if I'll ever look at it again or it will still make sense in a week. I'd plan out the perfect pipeline of bookmark - triage - read/watch/listen so that I could stay on top of every great talk, article, interview or book anyone had ever created and shared with the world. I used to try out a new todo app every other month, enthusiastic that this time I'd find the system that would finally enable me to never let anything fall through the cracks. only to then barely ever write down anything because it never quite fit into any of the boxes I'd prepared. I got caught in endless cycles of coming up with some structure, finding new tools, etc. I used to try and set up the perfect system for my notes. My single biggest improvement in getting somewhat organized and productive so far has probably come from getting comfortable with some amount of chaos.
