The brain dump method, end to end: typed vs voice, a 15-minute protocol that actually finishes, and the part everyone skips, turning the pile into clarified, filed, scheduled actions. Plus where AI filing takes over the dreaded second half.
A monthly review template in plain markdown: wins, shipped-vs-started, project health, an archive sweep, and next-month focus. Copy the blank version, study the filled example, and adapt the five sections to your own system.

What a good task management API actually needs: low-friction capture, idempotent writes, search, bulk operations, and signed webhooks. A field guide that walks each requirement using the real quik.md API endpoints and rate limits.
Every GTD capture channel ranked by real-world friction: the physical tray, the pocket notebook, the phone widget, voice, email-to-inbox, and API automation. The ranking rule is simple, and most setups break it.
