In addition, it is an _active thinking tool_ that allows for the reshaping, connecting, and building of ideas. ## Techniques ### Discipline - [[bin/Readwise/Books/How to Take Smart Notes-Sonke Ahrens]] - [How To Take Smart Notes Zine, by Zsolt Viczián](x-devonthink-item://3C548FD0-7326-4F3C-84E2-363C2E617811) - [[How to Take Smart Notes - A Step-by-Step Guide]] - [Building A Second Brain Zine, by Zsolt Viczián](x-devonthink-item://1B435376-52B9-4B54-A517-90D4DE481009) ### Home Note - [[000 Home|My Home Note]] - [[PKM Drivers for Home Note]] - [Home Note Ideas](https://forum.linkingyourthinking.com/t/4a-6-consider-other-ways-to-structure-your-knowledge/329) > Structure must be earned! Be careful over-structuring too much too soon. — [[Nick Milo]] > My hope is that [this example] calms and guides folks who have started to feel the itch for a top-level dashboard-like note—even if it’s a bit unearned...But it’s a slippery slope, lol, that can quickly lead to our worst impulses of over-structuring. — [[Nick Milo]] ### MOC #### Collision Phase Exercise from [[Linking Your Thinking|LYT]] - Create new lines between links. (These are “gaps”) - Birth new notes to fill in the gaps. (“Map the gaps”) - Discard other notes. - Merge two notes together. - Split a note into two. - Sharpen and clarify your note titles. - Add a new “Thing” note. - Add a new “Opinion about a Thing” note. ## Misc Reference - Eleanor Konik's [research tools](https://publish.obsidian.md/eleanorkonik/00+Meta/05+Tools/Research+Tools) ([[Obsidian]] publish site) ^a4d01d ## Half Baked Ideas ##### [Read by aggregating book summaries](https://youtu.be/gC4ZsfaMYEc) book summary websites - https://www.nateliason.com/notes - https://grahammann.net/books - https://sivers.org/book - https://www.samuelthomasdavies.com/book-summaries/alphabetical-order/ - https://jamesclear.com/book-summaries
