CODE. Capture. Organize. Distill. Express. It’s a note-taking system I loosely follow — but ultimately, it’s less about the method and more about making it yours. Doing what works, for you.
Expression isn’t about being loud. It’s about making what’s inside you clearer, so you can see what matters — and shape your voice along the way.
Distilling your thoughts isn’t complicated. You already do it—when you make dinner or pack a bag. Open your notes like your fridge: see what’s there, see what fits, make something yours.
Ideas only matter if you can find them. Organizing isn’t just filing them away — it’s turning scattered thoughts into something useful and ready when you need them.
Capturing matters. Make it easy, so you’ll actually do it. Not just to remember, but to express. To practice. To let passing thoughts grow into something more — your own words, your own voice.
These days, I write a lot and reflect a lot. But it wasn’t always like that. I didn’t start to feel good. I started because I couldn’t afford to forget.
I write everything down—ideas, phrases, random thoughts—because I never know when I may need it. Eminem calls this practice, "Stacking ammo".
I take notes in every meeting—not because I have to, but because it helps me pay attention. This is how I built a method that works for me.
