next step
Permanent note algorithm
we don’t need to worry about completeness. We don’t need to write anything down just to bridge a gap in a note sequence.
we need to make sure it can be found again. This is what the index is for.
We can provide ourselves with a (temporarily valid) overview over a topic or subtopic just by making another note.
A writer asks: In which circumstances will I want to stumble upon this note, even if I forget about it?
Keywords should always be assigned with an eye towards the topics you are working on or interested in, never by looking at the note in isolation.
“Links”
making these links is not a chore,
we literally go through the file-box and look for connections.
Each note should fit onto the screen and there should be no need of scrolling.
there is no need to worry about finding a topic to write about.
Put blogging ideas in the slip-box.
