The 30-second habit: capturing without friction
Ask people why they abandoned a notes app and the answer is almost never 'it lacked features'. It's some version of: opening it felt like work. Deciding where a note goes, what to title it, which tag to use - that's friction, and friction kills capture.
The fix is to make capturing feel like talking. One box, one sentence, done. No title required, no folder choice, no formatting. If capturing takes more than thirty seconds, the thought will often be gone before the note is saved.
Structure can be added later - by you, correcting a detail, or by the system, classifying automatically. The order matters: capture first, organize never (or almost never).
