## I want to make notes because ...
- I need to have the support of useful notes as I create more complex and new ideas.
- I enjoy learning new ways of being a better learner
- I don't want to lose my notes again, my notes are valuable but I am not referencing them or continuing to grow them in their current form
- Making notes requires that I think, and validate my ideas
## Spend more time being a developer, and less time being a recorder
## Change the work cycle
Reduce the collecting phase, replace highlighting with extracting, and increase the time in the _development phase_

## 4 Step Process: Moving From Note Taking to [[Knowledge Value Making]]
- Read and highlight - limit this as much as possible, limit new collecting
- [[Limit work in progress]]
- Think about and extract - _now and today_
- [[Knowledge Value Making]]
-
- Develop idea and create knowledge - _contact with notes over time_
- [[Maps of Concepts (MOC)]]
- Create new works to share
## Note-making is desirable to me because ...
- I need to get out of the [[hedonic treadmill]] of information overload and get to [[Knowledge Value Making]] from the more limited information I interact with. This is consistent with my goal to [[Limit work in progress]].
