Choose and set up a note-taking system matched to how you actually retrieve: the honest audit, the system pick, and the minimal structure that survives.
Set up my note system. My reality: {{reality}} (what I capture — meetings, ideas, reading; how I currently lose things; how I search when I need something; tools I already live in; my past abandoned systems: {{graveyard}}). Work: the retrieval-first audit (systems fail at retrieval, not capture — how do I actually LOOK for things: by project? person? date? topic? — the answer picks the structure), the system pick matched to my reality (and my graveyard — what killed the last ones: friction? over-structure? tool-hopping?), the minimal viable structure (inbox + 3-5 top folders/tags max; the daily-note spine if meetings dominate), the capture rules (where each input type lands, the 30-second rule — if filing takes longer, the system is too clever), the weekly 10-minute sweep, and the anti-perfectionism clause: messy-but-searched beats beautiful-but-abandoned.
