Taking Notes with Scrapbox

Taking Notes with Scrapbox

• It’s great that you can write down your subjective thoughts and ideas using icons.

  • I think this is important for understanding and remembering things.
    • I wrote about this in a previous Note.

• Workflow:

  • Even if the content of books or lectures is messy, start by writing it down.
  • Once you start seeing the big picture and structure, use bullet points and rearrange them with ctrl-arrow to organize.
  • After organizing the content after reading a book or attending a lecture, extract them as separate pages.
  • This seems to be a good approach (blu3mo)(blu3mo)(blu3mo).
    • It’s great that you don’t need to understand the structure at first.

• Consider two functions of Note:

• ① External storage for memories to review later

  • What would make you happy?
    • Being able to review and remember various things based on the notes I made at the time.
    • Being able to refer back to things that I thought were important.
      • For example, Chinese Pronunciation, I had almost forgotten everything, but my notes from high school were helpful for relearning.
  • It doesn’t need to be written in a way that can be understood from scratch.
    • That’s what textbooks and the internet are for.
    • I think it’s fine to only write down things that I find interesting.
      • Especially for classes with interesting stories that don’t need to be remembered, like omnibus lectures.

• ② Learning through abstraction and paraphrasing during the writing process

• Copyright issues
