3.1 Fleeting notes

A slip-box requires a method of quickly capturing ideas. These are called fleeting notes: they are simple reminders of information or ideas that will need to be processed later on, or trashed. This is typically accomplished using org-capture (see (org)capture), or using Org-roam’s daily notes functionality (see Daily-notes). This provides a central inbox for collecting thoughts, to be processed later into permanent notes.
