Periodic idea transfer

1 min read notes, workflow, writing

A reminder to move ideas from notebooks and to-do lists onto the website.

Periodic idea transfer keeps ideas from living only in notebooks and to-do lists. I use a reminder to move the useful ones onto the website, where they have one place to land and are easier to revisit later.

The cadence does not need to be strict. The point is to empty the backlog often enough to rewrite the useful parts, decide what still matters, and leave the rest behind.

That rhythm belongs in Planning and implementation: capture the idea now, then decide what to do with it later. I move the note into the site, rewrite it just enough to make it useful, and link it to related notes when that helps.
