Keep your links, notes and files in one collection. Choose a few known items and check that you can find them by title or content.

## Keep different formats together

A simple capture flow makes links, notes, images, PDFs, and archived pages part of the same collection.

## Choose lists and tags you use

Lists, rules, tags, and summaries create useful order while letting every person organize in their own way.

## From collecting to rediscovery

A saved item earns its place when you can retrieve it for a real question. Test that path with known items instead of judging the library by its size.

## A practical decision

Keep the library useful with the least necessary structure

| Need | Light structure | Warning sign |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Capture now | One inbox | Items never leave it |
| Find later | Searchable context | Notes use private shorthand |
| Review together | A named collection | The same item has many copies |

## Check the result

- [ ] Capture takes less time than recovering the source later.
- [ ] Every field changes search or action.
- [ ] Finished work leaves active views.
- [ ] A sample export remains readable outside the service.

## An important limit

Review your lists and tags when you struggle to find an item. Remove the ones you do not use and test a sample export.
