Write it before it fades
The best ideas lose 70% of their detail within an hour. Capture the shape while it's still warm.
Stick it where you'll see it
Visibility beats organization. The note on your monitor works harder than the one in your drawer.
Peel it off when it's done
Completion feels physical. Crumple the note, toss it, move on. That's the whole point.
Stack, shuffle, restack
Notes are modular thinking. Rearrange ten of them and the hidden structure reveals itself.
