STICKY NOTES ON WEBSITES

Leave notes on any website.
See them when you come back.

Put reminders, questions, and ideas directly on the webpages where they make sense — instead of moving the context into another notes app.

HOW IT WORKS

Write the note where the thought happened.

No copying a URL into another app. No trying to remember what the note was about later.

01
Sticky note placed on a webpage

Add a note to the page

Leave the reminder next to the page you are already reading.

02
Several sticky notes positioned around a webpage

Keep different thoughts separate

Use more than one note when a page gives you several things to remember.

03
Sticky notes visible directly on a website

Return to the page later

Your reminder is still connected to the page that gave it meaning.

WHY PAGE-SPECIFIC NOTES HELP

The page is part of the note.

“Compare this later” means much more when it is still sitting next to the exact paragraph, chart, product, or source you were looking at.

  • Keep the webpage as the context
  • Use notes for reminders, questions, and comparisons
  • See the thought again where it becomes useful

Choosing a research method

Different methods answer different kinds of questions. The important part is matching the method to the decision you need to make.

This section describes the trade-off between speed, depth, and the amount of evidence you need.

Later, compare the examples against the source you saved yesterday.

Compare this with yesterday's source.
Ask whether this changes the conclusion.
