# Artefact: Daily Capture

Field Notes · 1 min

**Earlier thinking.** Written in early-to-mid 2026, when my work centred on AI and workflow redesign. I've kept it for the record. It predates my current frames. For where I am now, start with [Working frames](https://ip.rowanadvisory.co.nz/).

Daily Capture is how I collect ideas without forcing them to perform. It’s a single capture stream I return to later, not a list to be worked through.

Throughout the day, I capture things that catch my attention, something I read, hear, notice, or think.

There is no pressure to develop, explain, or act.

The goal is simple: to stop work living in my head.

Where capture happens is personal. For me, the emphasis is on **voice over keyboard** - getting things out quickly, without structure or polish - so ideas can exist safely before they deserve attention.

Daily Capture allows input without obligation.  This feeds into [*Daily HQ*,](https://ip.rowanadvisory.co.nz/earlier-thoughts/artefact-daily-hq/) where attention is applied deliberately.
