Before I start my work for the day I spend a short time elaborating on notes which I have stored in My writing inboxes in the previous day. I usually will spend about 20-30 minutes each morning writing further details on my thoughts while they are still relatively fresh in my mind.

I usually keep my notes short and concise (see Keep things simple, there is no need to overcomplicate the note taking system) when capturing and so to make the most of the idea, I elabraote, add context, and add detail during these short daily sessions.

On a weekly basis I will usually spend some time at the end of the week going through these more detailed notes I have built up during the week and I will consider how they link together, looking for trends or similar threads of subject matter.
