Capture Nurture Share

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. 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 which refines my thinking and leads me further to nurture my ideas.
