Status Updates From How to Take Smart Notes

From a simple system of note taking can come worlds of complex thought.

Read up to section 2.1.

Re-reading as part of Dan Allosso's book club youtube.com/watch?v=OoltECZp-xQ

I am very excited to be reading this book. I know something of the process it lays out and I'm eager to put much of this book into practice.

خیلی دلم می خواد به نویسنده های بعضی از کتابهای بهره وری بگم : ببین اگه مطلب کم داری، اصلا کتاب ننویس، اگه مطلب کم نداری پس چرا انقدر حرفت رو کش میدی؟؟؟؟

I really liked this booked, It gave me practical insights about implementing the Slip-Box method to develop my framework of thinking. I will be trying this out using Notion.

Recent chapters shows me good explanation about things rather than the slip-box one🤷‍♀️

Innovative!

It’s describing the ZETTELKASTEN system of Luhmann.
The question is, how to organize Knowledge

¡Qué tremenda sorpresa me llevé! Mi experiencia con este libro fue redundante, porque con este libro fue con el que apliqué el conocimiento que vierte este mismo libro! Y otra enorme sorpresa que me llevé es observar que este libro no solo es la explicación de un método para tomar notas... sino que está repleto de Filosofía, Psicología, e impresionantes lecciones de vida. Altamente recomendable.

Había recibido varias referencias del libro, y cuando eso sucede, mejor leo el libro. Como siempre, hay más en el libro que en las referencias. El nivel de "insights" que me ha arrojado desde el principio es muy impactante. Me tiene cautivado cómo los comentarios de Luhmann validan mi propuesta de vida: hacer algo sin esfuerzo, cuando es tu misión, es estrategia de éxito.

Quote from page 54 (albeit ironic I'm using it as a quote): "The ability to express understanding in one's own words is a fundamental competency for everyone who writes - and only by doing it with the chance of realizing our lack of understanding can we become better at it."

.
Effective learning requires plugging in a piece of information into as many meaningful contexts as possible.

Planning is especially ineffective when it's mostly focused on the desired outcome rather than the tasks and steps involved in attempting to achieve the intended result.

.
Zeigarnik effect:
Unfinished tasks (open loops) take up space in our short-term memory until they're done.
This explains why our attention can wander easily towards unimportant incomplete tasks.

Real thinking needs externalization. E.g. Developing ideas in a notebook.

Short-term memory items take up space in our mind until it's forgotten, replaced by something more vital, or moved to long-term memory.

So far this book has been fascinating. Proving to be a hidden gem.

Slip-box is an external knowledge management system that allows for idea relationships that are non-linear and open-ended. It models how ideas naturally develop in our minds: As we progress our learning and understanding, new knowledge can change existing ideas, link up with old ideas, cause a detachment between previously linked ideas, and extend an idea beyond its original context.

If this book continues as strongly as the introduction starts, this is looking to be so much more than the title suggests.

ironically I'm slowly going through this because I'm taking notes (clearly I need this book)

‘Have the courage to use your own understanding’ is therefore the motto of enlightenment.

The experience of how one piece of information can change the whole perspective on a certain problem is extremely exciting.

Embracing a growth mindset means to get pleasure out of changing for the better (which is mostly inwardly rewarding) instead of getting pleasure in being praised (which is outwardly rewarding).

Once we get into the workflow, it is as if the work itself gains momentum, pulling us along and sometimes energizing is. This is the kind of dynamics we are looking for.

Good
