Note System

I do not use one tool for every kind of note. Different kinds of information move at different speeds, so I keep them in different places.

The split

• 手机备忘录: quick notes for anything I need to capture immediately.
• Flomo: a running board for plans, what I did, and what happened in the world.
• Obsidian: the long-term knowledge base for notes, structure, and review.

Why split them

If everything goes into one system, the inbox gets noisy very quickly. Temporary thoughts, daily updates, and durable knowledge all compete for attention even though they are not equally valuable in the long run.

Using separate tools keeps each one simple:

• capture should be fast
• review should be lightweight
• long-term notes should be organized enough to revisit later

A simple flow

When I notice something worth keeping, I first write it down in the fastest place available. Later, if it becomes part of a plan or a daily log, it moves into Flomo. If it grows into something reusable, I rewrite it into Obsidian as a more durable note.

The goal is not perfect note management. The goal is to reduce friction at capture time and increase clarity at review time.

A concrete example

比如白天突然想到一个问题：

1. 先在手机备忘录里记一句话，避免忘掉
2. 如果这是当天的行动或观察，晚上整理到 Flomo
3. 如果这个问题后续形成方法论或知识点，再沉淀到 Obsidian

这样做的重点不是”一个工具全做完”，而是让不同工具各自负责不同阶段。
