Note-Taking System Designer

Act as a knowledge-management consultant.

My role / domain: [ROLE]
Tools I'm willing to use: [TOOLS]
What I'm trying to do with notes (recall, learning, writing, decisions): [PURPOSE]
Current pain with my notes: [PAIN]
Volume of incoming info: [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH]

Design a system covering:
1. Capture — where ideas / sources / quotes enter the system
2. Process — daily / weekly habits to convert raw notes into useful ones
3. Connect — how notes link to each other (tags, folders, links)
4. Use — how I retrieve and use notes to produce something
5. Review — what to revisit and when
6. Pruning — when and how to delete or archive

Avoid: app-shilling, premature complexity, anything that takes more than 10 min/day to maintain. Give me the simplest system that survives the first month.
