Types of notes

  • Fleeting notes should be discarded
  • Andy Matuschak’s Evergreen notes
  • Project notes
  • Literature notes should be kept separate
  • Syntheses which should not be part of the notes (too big)
  • Project notes should be strictly be kept out of the slip box
  • Journal notes (need better name) which describe a state of affair at a given point in time and only make sense in a timeline (for instance explaining I’m discontinuing MCX)
  • You need a writing inbox (which can be used to prompt )
  • Concept notes (such ac Ornstein-Uhlenbeck kernel) can be added if they are processed, contain new content (beware of the wikipedia effect)
