# Atomic Thinking
PKM System developed and promoted by [[Eliott Meunier]]: https://fr.atomicthinking.fr/
It focuses on:
- How to select information sources
- How to take better notes and capture information
- How to organize information
- How to leverage information to make new ideas emerge
## Summary
Eliott shared the high-level summary of his system in [[ArrĂȘtez d'Oublier ce que vous Lisez (book)]].
By starting from first principles, creating atomic notes, and thinking in systems, we can combine ideas and elaborate those to form more complex ones.
There are multiple steps:
- Select: Picking the right content to consume
- Capture: Take notes, capture highlights, ideas, knowledge, concepts, etc in a trusted system
- Deconstruct: Identify and extract underlying concepts. Start from [[First principle]] and extract atomic ideas (cfr [[Atomic notes]])
- Emergence: Order and assemble ideas to develop new ones
- Improve overall quality
- Organize: Become more effective and efficient by having a solid organization system
