📝 What is my process for capturing experience?

After yesterday's post, I was asked: "What's your process to capture experience?"

The most important thing is to get information out of transient mediums into permanent mediums.

What are the attributes of a permanent medium?

1. Searchable
2. Persistent (exists over time, backed up)
3. Easily accessible to all relevant parties over time, even those who join late
4. Well organized
5. Has context
6. Improved over time
7. Turned into automation where possible

The first two attributes are the easiest. While email, chat, and meetings are useful in teams for communication and notifications, they are NOT permanent mediums for information. Even though they may be persistent and searchable, they fail on the other attributes.
