Field guide
Turn curiosity into a tiny task
Choose a task you can finish in one sitting.
A useful task has a clear object and an observable ending. Read a page, compare two claims or collect a source. Avoid turning every question into a large project.
Give it a room
Home is for first thoughts. Vault is for things to keep. Town is for questions about people. Night is for playful ideas. Study is for careful comparison.
Close the loop
Write the result back into the same note. Mark it finished when you can explain the answer in a sentence.
