Organize The Inbox

Inbox review turns quick captures into usable knowledge.

Remove A Note From Inbox

When a note is organized enough, mark it as organized. Use Cmd+E on macOS or Ctrl+E on Windows and Linux, or click the organize action in the breadcrumb bar.

That action is what removes the note from Inbox. If auto-advance is enabled in Settings > Workflow, Tolaria opens the next Inbox item immediately after you mark the current note organized.

Review Checklist

  • Rename unclear notes.
  • Add or correct the first H1.
  • Set type.
  • Add status for actionable notes.
  • Add belongs_to, related_to, or other relationship fields when useful.
  • Archive or delete notes that no longer matter.

Make Notes Navigable

A note is organized when you can answer:

  • What kind of thing is this?
  • What is it connected to?
  • What is this useful for?
  • What will I do with it?

Avoid Over-Structuring

Do not add fields just because they exist. Add the structure that will help future navigation, review, or automation.
