Loved your summary. I just finished Ahren’s How to Take Smart Notes and you captured the heart of it. Thanks. I have questions regarding the “Links between notes.” Your following explanation:
Give them all unique identifiers, and allow these to have a “nested” structure when one note leads to others which lead to others.
I think I am having trouble with the word “identifiers” and ‘nested’ structure. Perhaps these are mathematical terms and I’m not good at math. By identifiers, do you mean themes or topics or maybe reminders? Are they headings or titles?
Cross-link them by adding to each note references (via those unique IDs) to other notes that you know are related to it.
How do you connect them to other notes? Do you peruse through your other notes in the slip box and add those “identifiers” to them? Would perusing those notes not take a lot of time to sift through?
