Insights don't wait for a convenient moment. The Quick Log buffer is an inbox for them: capture now, organize later.

Capture

  1. Press Quick Log in the top bar, from any page.
  2. Type into Fast capture: "Jot a thought, sort it later…"
  3. Press Enter. It waits in your buffer on the Dashboard.

Organize

When you have a minute, open a buffered item and choose where it goes:

Meditation Journal
It becomes a journal entry.
Daily Log
It's added to the log for the date you choose.
Intention
It becomes a progress note on an intention, or starts a new one.
Notebook
It becomes a note in the folder you choose.
Try it

The best way to learn it is to use it.
