Capture, Nuture, Share
As I progress with my digital garden and zettelkasten system I realise I'm naturally moving towards the CODE framework (Capture, Organise, Distill, Express), described by Tiago Forte in his book Building a Second brain
The first elements of a Zettelkasten involve capturing, nurturing, and sharing.
Capture
To capture I have a simple note app that takes in all my random thoughts. I call this my "Mind Dump".
Nurture
To nurture, each day I look at this random collection of notes, thematically organize them and paste the contents into a file that's related to the content using my Time Context Category Heirarchy method. Then I choose some areas I wish to clarify and organize these thoughts into coherent ideas. Turning each thought into an individual note.
Share
Finally, through this book, I express these thoughts. The process of that refines my thinking and leads me further to nurture my ideas.
