x:: Hybrid Note-taking Method

  • From the content of the note itself:
    • Local and overall. Local is the knowledge point of a certain subdivision, and overall is all the content that you are interested in.
    • Top-down and Bottom-up. The former is similar to a mind map, one divides into two, two divides into four, first have a skeleton, then fill in the content. The latter first accumulates isolated knowledge points in a scattered manner, and when it accumulates to a certain extent, it forms a local aggregation, first have the content, then draw the skeleton.
  • From the perspective of note organization:
  • From the perspective of note-taking practice:
  • Atalas
    • Overall, Top-down, overlooking the overall situation
  • Calendar
    • dailynote first, based on daily logs
    • Overall, Bottom-up, accumulating from small things.
    • Reduce input friction and provide clues for review based on dates
  • Cards
    • content first, based on the content itself
    • link first, try to establish as many connections as possible
    • Locally, Bottom-up.
    • How to organize and sort?
      • Natural degradation, cards that have not been opened for a long time are useless cards. Just let them go.
      • Natural growth, high-frequency opened cards, try to establish more connections with other pages. Create a new MOC for aggregation when necessary.
  • Extras
  • Sources:
    • material first, based on the carrier form of learning materials
    • topic first, based on topics and themes
    • architect first, structure first, respect the structure of the original material.
    • Locally, Top-down.
    • Provide clues for review based on materials. When there is a conflict or overlap with Spaces, give priority to this place.
  • spaces
    • action first, based on actions and goals
    • folder first, folder first, as a workbench to guide actions and goals.
    • Locally, Top-down+Bottom-up.
    • Provide clues for review based on projects and actions.
