The note
If you cannot find a note in under a minute, it might as well not exist. The fix is dull and effective: a plain title, one folder, and a link from an index.
Write each note for a stranger, because in three months that is who will read it. Start with one sentence on what the note is about. End with one sentence on what to do next.

Three things worth your time
- A starter repository for plain-text notes.
- An older guide that still holds up: a primer on feedback loops.
- A video on organising a notes repository.
A question to take with you
Which note would you most want to find next month, and where would you look for it?
That is all for this sample.
