Status: Links: Note Taking Note Storage Systems

Writing

Writing doesn’t start at the contact between pencil and paper, but rather our previous experiences and thoughts. Fortunately, effective Note Storage Systems like a Slip-Box can save us from having to start from scratch ever again

Benefits of Writing

• It’s important to have your ideas public for others to criticize
• By putting a focus on writing, a new perspective is adopted when learning; you will put more focus on efficiently learning, rather than trying to figure out what you should learn
  • Focusing on important topics, deeper understanding through engagement and elaboration, and innovation by turning it into new ideas
• Even if we don’t need this focus on writing, the improvement in other skills is worth it

Tips For Writing

• Write for three days
• Writing Fundamentals
• To land a successful topic to talk about, look through your notes to see any well-developed or eye-catching clusters
  • Navigating through our slip-box helps generate new ideas
• Finding importance in what we are learning
  • Relations to personal goals, perspective, life
• Take the path of least resistance
  • If something isn’t flowing as well as it should have, consider switching to something else you need to work on
    • Of course, you need to know the difference between just being lazy and feeling that your productivity could be more useful elsewhere
• Instead of keeping unecessary ideas in a paper, keep them in a separate note for you to look back upon later on
• When writing, it’s better to just write what first comes to mind
  • Focus on communication rather than perfection

Pitfalls

• Confirmation Bias
