Context-Aware Capture

A saved link is a mystery six weeks later unless the why is jotted while memory is fresh.

Key Concept

• Context-aware capture saves the why while memory is fresh - project, mood, question - not just the link.
• Level 1: Like when you write why you saved a photo - the picture alone will not tell you later.
• Level 2: You bookmark an article but add “for Q3 budget slide” in the margin - context-aware capture saves the why while memory is fresh.
• Level 3: A saved link is a mystery six weeks later unless the why was captured while it was still obvious.
• Level 4: Voice-memo in the parking lot with why the meeting mattered - almost saved just the link and caught yourself while context was still in your head.
• Level 5: Six weeks later, only the why saves a bookmark from becoming junk - pairs with Capture when resonance alone cannot reconstruct the spark.

• Six weeks later, only the why saves a bookmark from becoming junk.

Examples

• Voice memo in the parking lot after the meeting - I almost saved just the link and caught myself; context was still in my head.
• Photo of the whiteboard before they erased it - capture matched where the idea lived.
