The Daily HQ is how I decide what deserves attention. It’s a single, deliberately limited surface I review once a day.
It’s a triage surface for anything I’ve captured, a place to look deliberately at what’s live before it turns into action.
The question I ask is simple:
Is there anything here that still feels alive?
By “alive,” I mean it’s still asking something of me.
Most days, the answer is no.
That’s fine. Capture did its job.
When something does have energy, I have three options:
Do nothing
Most ideas stop here. They’ve been seen, and that’s enough.
Light synthesis
I name a single signal. Not the content, but what shifted.
What changed? What clarified?
Promote intentionally (rare)
Only when something earns it does it move into a more durable context for reuse or development.
The Daily HQ is not about productivity or prioritisation.
It exists to ensure that attention is applied deliberately, not by accumulation.
Much of what appears here comes from Daily Capture.
