Lots of inputs and a strong filter

More inputs only help if the filter is strong. Without one, more reading creates more noise. Not everything deserves attention. If an idea matters, it will come back, you’ll see it again in a different place, from a different person.

The same principle applies to tasks. I don’t migrate tasks. If something was important, it resurfaces when I re-read old lists. I evaluate it then, pick it up then. No obligation to carry it forward just because it was written down. An antilibrary is a form of inventory is one way to hold inputs with low commitment until they earn attention.
