How I Organize Useful Ideas

Useful ideas need just enough structure to be found again.

My preferred system is simple: capture the idea, add the context, connect it to a topic, and decide whether it belongs as a note, a longer piece, or a project seed.

Keep the format light

An idea entry can be small:

## Idea
What is the thought?

## Context
Why did it show up now?

## Next step
Is there anything worth doing with it?

The value is in returning to it later with better eyes.
