Productivity is just emotional regulation — Find opportunities to find delight in whatever system you build. All systems should optimize for delight and minimize dread as first-class priorities.

Make your notes discoverable — Yes, your notes need good SEO too! A writer asks: “In which circumstances will I want to stumble upon this note?” Leave hints and breadcrumbs for your future self to locate the right note at the right time to inspire the right action.

Note-making > note-taking — Practice the generative art of synthesizing your captured notes to create your own narratives. Do this regularly.

Allow for emergent structure — Let a structure organically emerge bottom-up, rather than imposing an a priori ideology top-down.
