## 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_ ![[Screen Shot 2022-02-21 at 8.25.11 AM.png]] ## 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]]. ## Sources: [[🐓 Idea Farm/Deadfall/For myself only/Readwise/Books/How to Take Smart Notes]] [[Linking Your Thinking]]
