Optimize for capture latency over capture quality—reduce the time between thought occurrence and externalization to under 5 seconds regardless of tool fidelity.
Why This Is a Principle
Directly derives from Exponential Information Decay (exponential decay within 20 minutes) and Open-Loop Cognitive Cost (Zeigarnik) (uncaptured thoughts consume working memory). Prescribes prioritizing speed over quality in capture tools—latency wins. This is a clear design principle with actionable implications.
