#Note/HowTo #Note/Permanent
Fleeting note intake refers to the initial phase of the note-taking process where raw information, ideas, or impressions are **quickly captured** without extensive filtering or organization. These [[Fleeting Notes]] are temporary and serve as the immediate reaction or understanding of a piece of content or thought.

Fleeting notes can originate from a myriad of input sources. Whether it's an insightful article or tweet you come across online, a book you're reading, and enlightening podcast episode you listen to, or a stimulating conversation with someone, each provides a unique opportunity to capture initial thoughts. Additionally, spontaneous epiphanies, self-reflection and self-brainstorming sessions can also spark fresh ideas, further enriching the content of fleeting notes.
In my journey of building a note-taking process, I've learned that the tool for note intake must be as frictionless as possible. If it takes more than a minute to get the tool ready, it might be time to optimize the method. I use these [[Obsidian Fleeting Notes Quick Capture Tools]] regularly to capture fleeting notes, ensuring I don't miss out on valuable information in my day-to-day life.
