# Knowledge categories - Inspiration: anything I take from the outside world (e.g., literature notes, infographics, summaries by others, book notes, etc) - Knowledge: facts I've captured either on my own or from elsewhere - Ideas: things that have popped up in my mind while thinking, exploring, learning, brainstorming In terms of the [[Zettelkasten method]], the split is pretty natural - Literature notes for inspiration and external knowledge - Permanent notes for my acquired knowledge, knowledge that I've internalized or expressed using my own words, expanded, explored, as well as for your own ideas
