Capture A Note

Use capture when you need to get an idea into the vault before you know where it belongs.

Steps

1. Press Cmd+N on macOS or Ctrl+N on Windows and Linux.
2. Write a clear H1.
3. Add the rough content.
4. Leave structure for later if you are still thinking.

Capture Well

Prefer a useful title over a perfect taxonomy. You can add type, status, and relationships during inbox review.

When To Add Structure Immediately

Add structure while capturing when the note's type or relationships are already obvious. Otherwise, capture the idea first and organize it later.
