use a note-writing system that is simple. All you need is:

  1. An undistracted brain
  2. A reliable collection of notes

For your collection of notes (talahardin), you should have a bare minimum of four tools:

  1. inboxes to capture fleeting notes.
  2. A reference management system.
  3. The slip-box
  4. An editor

When using tools, remember that tools should be embedded in a system to be effective.
