A word for recording thoughts and ideas.
Extremely useful for:
This mind-garden is a place to think, to spill, to capture. The tools support a meandering rabbit hole of notes and links - diving deeper is always encouraged.
I try to 'tend' the garden often and freely - give the seeds of ideas a fresh pot and loose dirt, water them as the leaves start to signal. You can extend the metaphor forever - mostly I just come putz around in here, with no need direction if I'm not feeling it.
Tending the garden can mean anything, but here are some activities anyway:

It's been years, but we've finally published this mind garden.
To have a strong capture flow, you need strong inbox processing.
It's all about confidence in your future self empowering the present you to get it all out of your head.
Then, once you've captured just way too much, trust that a process can squeeze the value out of the gibberish without taking you down with it.
Tools are great, but they have to be maintainable (as in, very little code).
