<h3 class="section">3.1 Fleeting notes</h3>
<p>A slip-box requires a method of quickly capturing ideas. These are called
<strong>fleeting notes</strong>: they are simple reminders of information or ideas that will
need to be processed later on, or trashed. This is typically accomplished using
<code>org-capture</code> (see <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/capture.html#capture">(org)capture</a>), or using Org-roam&rsquo;s daily notes
functionality (see <a href="Daily_002dnotes.html#Daily_002dnotes">Daily-notes</a>). This provides a central inbox for collecting
thoughts, to be processed later into permanent notes.
