Page 118: ultimately you should have mental models that help inform your permanent notes, or that you derive from your permanent notes. ^permanent-notes-mental-models

meta-process as described in James clears atomic habits. Make it easy to start. At a time when you have more time, ensure that you make taking the next action as easy as possible. This could be scripting and interface or a playground playground, or something as simple as adding a template to the wiki to ensure that it is very easy to create new pages of the type that you are wanted to create. What example if you know you are going to be learning rust, then make it as easy as possible to create literature notes about rust that you can turn into space for a petition prompt easily.

Are you sure there is no tedious part to get started?

The hard work of planning vs. the meditative work of doing


I need to add this to the text below, I think, but the idea is that with literature notes, sometimes I label sections. Those labeled but not yet trans clued in sections should be considered a to do list, because I recognize these are important ideas, but they have not been tied to other things yet. I think also that by labeling Them, I am indicating that they should be tied to other ideas. It's a preparatory step


The step-by-step process as I see it:

"following my between-books strategy of reading promiscuously and voraciously"
...
But actually this is your process should be driven by a goal, and the goal here is writing good books, ultimately. It's generative, even if the short-term approach looks like haphazard promiscuous consumption ^reading-promiscuously-and-voraciously

At 2:00 he talks with Cliff of speechify about how speeding up your consumption allows you to consume more promiscuously. You won't only read the stuff that you know will be very good. ^sped-up-consumption-promiscuous

In the obsidian page about writing to learn, he talks about having a very early hypothesis

New idea as you are reading some thing, I have an a pen normally reading log where you attempt to ask yourself questions. Those questions are already automatically added to your space repetition practice, and can also be moved around within your Organization system later. They don't need to be perfectly formulated or written, but just need to get the just across and point back to the original material in case you care more later and want to dig in.

It's interesting that in inputs, if you look at the Cornell notes method, they suggest telegraphic sentences, and cues. Both of these make sense when taking your initial notes that you will translate into future notes. The trouble I have with lectures that are not recorded is that you can't necessarily revisit these notes that lack context to get the Context more fully once you realize that this is an area of interest for you.

I think it's important when considering input to facilitate a voracious and promiscuous consumption that the Lusitania author talks about. Find whatever modality works for you, and make the input process as painless as possible, however, also ensure that the inputs can make it to the next step. Also in disagreement with myself here, I do think it makes sense to occasionally carefully formulate questions as part of your input process, particularly when an idea strikes you as novel, and worthy of interpretation Or remembering.

While you are reading, I have a pen in hand. Don't copy quotes from the book, but rather make but rather re-interpret the text with a clear Desire to stick closely to what the text said. This is the temporary, and bibliographic notes. These are also referred to as literature notes.

There is an idea that something functions like an inbox. I believe it is the temporary notes. They are then translated into permanent slip box notes, Then removed. What is unclear to me is what about the bibliographic notes? I seem to stick around somewhere I understand that they should not be part of the main slip box notes because they will interfere is a connection

When you make the slip box notes, I don't think them as close to publish ready as possible. They should have enough context and on their own, so if you encountered one of them six months later it would make sense to you. Additionally are you nervous you should attempt to drive as many connections between things as possible. The idea here is that the slip box becomes something that you converse with that you look at as you are thinking. When writing the permanent notes, consider hy did the aspects I wrote down in my literature notes caught my interest?

There's a separate class of Note on the project note. These are notes that are used during a project, but are ultimately archived or discarded once the project is completed. They are not for the purpose of accreting lifetime knowledge and connections, but rather very task specific.

A checklist for evergreen notes... when bootstrapping the process

There was a podcast that used to listen to with a marketing guy. He talked about how he would like to write his rough drafts by speaking to his computer because I gave him a very give his work very spoken feel.

Ultimately your output isn't just your written creations, but also do mental models or changes to your existing mental models.
