Frictionless Capture: The value of an idea system is measured by how fast it can capture a fleeting thought with zero friction.

Your brain's "idea" mode (creative) and "organize" mode (analytical) are separate. Trying to do both kills the creative spark. You need one "Capture Inbox" that is always on and always available. This can be a specific notes app, a voice memo, or even a pocket notebook.

Set Your Inbox: Right now, designate ONE app on your phone as your "Capture Inbox" (e.g., Apple Notes, Google Keep, voice memos). Put it on your home screen. For the next 48 hours, every single idea, to-do, or thought—no matter how small—goes only there. Do NOT organize it.
