- ITEs are probably a subset of notes apps, just like IDEs are a subset of text editors. Every IDE is fundamentally a text editor. Every ITE is fundamentally a notes app. That’s because—at least for now—the best way we have of working with our thoughts is to instantiate them as notes.

- An Integrated Thinking Environment (ITE) is an app that provides tools to make thinking easier, enabling us to be more innovative. ITEs provide features that take care of some parts of the work of knowledge management and knowledge innovation.

- You can tune an ITE to be exactly what you need it to be for particular kinds of knowledge work. With a few different plugins, templates, and automations, one ITE can be transformed into many different specialized tools.

- I developed the idea of a “workbench note.” The idea was to have a temporary staging space for collecting ideas that I could then remix and add to.

- An Integrated Development Environment, or IDE, is an app used by programmers to develop software. [...] IDEs provide a kind of augmented cognition for programmers. They reduce the cognitive capacity needed for software development by automating some of the work. This is freeing: it allows programmers to think less about coding, and more about desig... See more

- I think we’ll see communities of users craft downloadable ITEs specific to certain kinds of work or workflows. [...] These kits are a kind of “hypertemplate.” They provide a kind of pre-fabricated foundation for knowledge work that users can share to help others get started. At the same time, power users will use these to capture many aspects of th... See more

- Organizable. ITEs provide methods for managing thought structure and metadata, including classifying, tagging, summarizing, and visualizing collections of thoughts.
- Transformative. ITE apps provide methods for defining and refining thoughts, and providing ways of querying, combining, and referencing that thinking.
- Extensible. A rich feature set

- ITEs go quite a bit further than a conventional text editor. That is, ITEs are:
- Navigable. The apps provide methods for quickly and intuitively navigating, reviewing, and collating collected thinking.

- No one uses the same ITE twice, as it’s not the same ITE—and they’re not the same person.
