It took me a while to realize that the software lesson of doing a migration by working against a good, consistent interface applies also to migrating one's workflows:https://www.natemeyvis.com/writing/backward-compatible-improvements/ …

(2) More contrarian still: I'm not sure that the marginal thought *should* be captured! I've recently gone through a bunch of old notes / journal entries / etc. They're *terrible*! Awful! At least when they're not closely tied to something I was already engaged in. [3/N]
Which for me is all the more reason to have project- / context-sensitive capture methods. That "catch-all" / default category, divorced from anything I've been thinking about in a sustained way already, is just very unlikely to capture anything profound. [4/N]

And, more relevantly, the *marginal* captured catch-all note, the fleeting miscellaneous thing that I'd only capture if it were really easy to do so, and *wouldn't somehow come back* if I didn't... for me, losing that isn't a bad thing. [5/N]

I don't doubt that other people have much better random thoughts than I do! If you're one of them, I wish you luck. Also, remember that your phone probably has an excellent dictation engine, for those longer random thoughts. Thanks for the question! [6/6]
