My note-taking workflow has three stages:
- Capture — write anything, don't edit. Speed matters here.
- Process — next day, rewrite in my own words. Delete what doesn't hold up.
- Connect — find links to existing notes. This is where understanding happens.
Tools I've tried: Notion (too heavy), Roam (too clever), plain files (too lonely).
This is what I want from what-is-a-commonplace-book: a place where ideas collide.
