Note Taking

Overview

Methodology

There are generally two broad but similar families of thought regarding note-taking -

1. Zettelkasten - Age-old method.
2. Second Brain - A modern method, mostly focused on digital note taking.

Bi-Directional Linking

• It is essentially the concept of linking notes together.
• It allows you to create notes, keeping in mind how you want to stumble upon this note in the future.

We get introduced to note-taking in school before tests, where we used to note down information that would be covered in tests. We then never referenced these notes again. Knowledge in this case was disposable.

Definition

A note is a knowledge-building block, a discrete unit of information.
