Adding Context To Your Ubiquitous Capture…

So I somehow managed to find a Moleskine 2008 planner after visiting my 3rd local bookstore and one of my plans is not only to use it to keep track of my appointments/stuff  but also to use it for ubiquitous capture…especially in context with the rest of my schedule. One of the most important things to remember when your mind dumping into an external device is context. What exactly where you thinking when you wrote this stuff down and your notes (either written or verbal) have to be clear and concise so when or if you ever need to access this data later you’ll be able to decipher it…

“Although the first priority in ubiquitous capture is getting it down, the red-headed stepchild trailing in at number two is providing context. And I don’t mean the GTD kind of contexts, but the kind of context that minimally explains what this information means, where and when you collected it, why it matters, or anything else that will help you find a meaningful place for it in your life later on.” (via 43 folders)
