Avoid the temptation of including multiple thoughts or tangents in one note. Instead, create separate notes and connect those together]] - [[Each tag and link you add to a note adds a path to resurface that note later on]] - [[Good notes are those you want to go back to in the future]] - [[I go through dozens of notebooks every year - Richard Branson]] - [[I write ideas down so I don't commit suicide later having forgotten the idea]] - [[If you don’t have a good system for storing bad ideas, you probably don’t have one for filing good ones, either]] - [[If you fail to capture ideas, they might fade into oblivion and be lost forever]] - [[If you think without writing, you only think you're thinking]] - [[If you write 3 notes a day, you could have more than 1K within a year]] - [[In software systems, low coupling is a quality. In knowledge systems, high coupling is a quality. You want high interconnectivity between notes. Knowledge and learnings are reinforced by relevant connections]] - [[Just like code functions, notes should be short, easy to understand and standing on their own]] - [[Most notes are write-only. Created once, never read again. Smart notes are building blocks. Created once, used forever]] - [[Never hesitate to update or remove existing notes.

Complex ideas should be compositions reusing atomic ones]] - [[Periodically revisit your notes. This not only refreshes your memory but also provides opportunities to refine, combine, or otherwise evolve your understanding]] - [[Personal knowledge management is less about one-time organization and more about regularly curating and revisiting your notes]] - [[Pick one notes app, and keep it for long enough to reap the benefits]] - [[Read less, take notes, and retain more]] - [[Reading is for gaining knowledge. Notetaking is for retaining wisdom]] - [[Remember the true purpose of notes. They are not just to remember, but to think. They are not just to store, but to connect.

We take notes about our understanding of the literature]] - [[We don’t write things down to remember them. We write them down to forget]] - [[When we write something down (physically or digitally) we are converting a thought about the world from our brains into material which can be interacted with, both later by ourselves and by others]] - [[When you are learning, note-taking helps capturing what matters.
