How do I practice voice notes?

For the next 48 hours, use voice capture every time writing would take more than 10 seconds to initiate. Driving, walking, cooking, lying in bed with the lights off — speak into your phone's voice memo app or a quick-capture widget. At the end of 48 hours, review the transcriptions. Count how many of those thoughts you would have lost. Notice which ones surprise you — the ideas that arrived in motion, not at a desk.

Common pitfall: Recording a voice note and never processing it. Voice capture without a processing step creates a graveyard of audio files you'll never revisit. The second failure mode is perfectionism — editing yourself mid-sentence, restarting recordings, trying to sound coherent. Voice capture is raw capture. Coherence comes later.

This practice connects to Capture Systems — building it as a repeatable habit compounds over time.
