Note Storage Systems

Note storage systems like Slip-Boxes help efficiently store information and aid us in the Writing process.

Note Storage Systems Should Be:

Viewable

Being able to see the big picture while working on small sections keeps your writing relevant and focusable at the same time
A good structure enables flow and acts as a second brain

Organized

Effortless

Efficient note-taking should allow you to create ideas before you even start writing through the connection and structure of your notes.
To achieve peak productivity, tasks need to consume little to no willpower
- Allows us to focus more on thinking
Storing ideas allows us to free mental space and energy
Although remembering everything is convenient, it prevents us from focusing on the more important information and understanding the main concepts of something

Helpful

Consider structuring a workflow that promotes the creation of abstract ideas
Recording everything allows us to make use of things we may not have needed in the past, providing engagement for older thoughts

Alleviating

We need a reliable and simple external structure to think to compensate for the limitaitons of our brains
Rarely do we only focus on one thing at a time, so having a second brain to remind us on our ideas is game-changing
A second brain allows us to easily hone in on what we need to be doing
