A paragraph is copied into a collection of useful passages.

A saved item is easier to use when its reason travels with it. Dates, sources, and short explanations can do more than an elaborate filing system. Start with the items you actually expect to revisit and leave uncertainty visible.

Note whether it is original writing or somebody else's words.

Leave an easy return path where possible. Changing a method should not require pretending the earlier attempt never existed.
