The Four Pillars of the CODE Framework
- Capture: Save only what resonates deeply using 1-click web clippers rather than bookmarking every link blindly.
- Organize: File saved links by actionability and project boards rather than rigid subject categories.
- Distill: Highlight core sentences in multiple colors and write concise marginal summaries.
- Express: Retrieve and transform curated knowledge into articles, reports, or client deliverables.
