# CODE model ## Summary - [[Second Brain Capture Tools|Capture]] the most resonant knowledge/ ideas you come across. Don't worry about why it resonates. *"Everything not saved will be lost" - Nintendo "Quit Screen" message.* Don't just save things that you agree with. - Organise those ideas according to the [[PARA Method]]. Remember [[stigmergy]] - Distill these ideas down to their core essence. This is the art of successful communication. Remember that these notes will be reflected on in years to come- write with the future in mind. - [[Express and create using my Second Brain|Express]]. Create by bringing notes (ideas, thoughts) together. The first two elements (capture and organise) are about divergence. The next two elements (distill and express) are about convergence. The latter is more difficult. CODE is not linear, it's a cycle. ## See also - [[My Second Brain Workflow]] - [[Second Brain Capture Tools]] - [[Express and create using my Second Brain]]
