> Have you hit times when you've missed inputting some knowledge, purely because you've been engrossed in whatever task it is There are so many things I wish I'd written down that I hadn't, but I think the key is to turn it writing things down into a routine.

I have a shared tmux tab that's always open, so no matter what I'm doing I can C-a-7 to write something down, and C C-a to get back to work - it's pretty fast!

Initially I was quite concerned with deadlines too, but I've found that even in the short run, writing things down ends up saving time - I've found that it's usually research that ends up taking time, not writing things down.

I hope this was helpful (:
