CODE

Category: workflow

Summary: A four-step workflow: capture, organize, distill, and express.

What it means

CODE frames knowledge work as a process that starts with capturing useful inputs and ends with expression. It is practical because it connects notes to output.

How it shows up in personal knowledge management

This page links to capture, organize, distill, express, progressive-summarization, and creative-output. It keeps PKM focused on use rather than accumulation.

Common mistakes

• Stopping after capture.
• Over-organizing before anything is expressed.
