Capture
Capture
Category: workflow step
Summary: The act of saving potentially useful information into a trusted place.
What it means
Capture reduces the fear of losing ideas, references, and commitments. But capture should be selective enough to avoid drowning the system.
How it shows up in personal knowledge management
Capture connects to inbox, capture-friction, web-clipping, voice-notes, highlighting, and gtd. A good capture workflow makes it easy to save and later decide.
Common mistakes
- Capturing everything because storage is cheap.
- Capturing without a review habit.
