My approach to writing notes
It seems to me that there are two broad approaches to Notemaking in the service of Sensemaking:
- the refinement of notes down into atomic concept-level Permanent Notes, as articulated by Andy Matuschak.
- Progressive Summarisation as popularised by Tiago Forte
My own approach tends to fall in the middle and is driven by what is important in the moment, very similar to that articulated by Bill Seitz[1]
