where thought lives before it becomes a “file.” They’re not for polish.
They’re for keeping unformed thought as it is. If the document moves toward a result,
notes are the in-between stage before that result.
This section covers:
- 3.5.1 Notes as a temporary store for thought
- 3.5.2 Two ways to view notes
- 3.5.3 How document notes and navigation notes relate
- 3.5.4 Note card structure · 3.5.5 When to use notes
Notes are an unfinished space.
But that unfinished state is part of the process, not neglect. If a thought doesn’t have a place yet,
don’t force it into shape — put it in a note. In Pensiv,
every thought is meant to find a place later.
