I can really recommend "How to Take Smart Notes" [1] by Sönke Ahrens. It's made a real difference for me. Ignore the self help-sounding title and give it a chance. [1] https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34507927 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34507927

I second that recommendation. It's a good book, and very, very useful. ---- I'm just starting to consolidate my notes, plans, and other documentation into an Emacs org-roam instance. I've got the workflow pretty well defined, now I'm just adding more and more "knowledge" to the instance. Org-roam is a recent Emacs-based implementation of https://roamresearch.com/ https://roamresearch.com/ where you link notes to other notes, and the system automatically creates backlinks for you. Thus creating the context for the "in what context do I want to view this note?" question. https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/how_to_take_smart_notes_org/ https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/how_to_take_smart_notes_org/ https://org-roam.readthedocs.io/en/develop/ https://org-roam.readthedocs.io/en/develop/ https://github.com/jethrokuan/org-roam https://github.com/jethrokuan/org-roam

  I am thinking of starting a groupchat/forum for users of org-roam. Since Emacs consumers are also contributors very often, it would be a good to exchange ideas on how to make this awesome tool even better. Emacs and the org-mode ecosystem offers some already existing great features (e.g. avy-jump, magit, org-capture, org-agenda etc. ) that can make this tool far better than RoamResearch. Please let me know below if anyone is interested in it.

    Hi, author of org-roam here. Maybe I'll set up a Gitter for Org-roam. Org-roam is a reflection of my current workflow, but I'd also like feedback on what to work on next and what people like to see. Maybe creating a GitHub issue is too much of a barrier to entry.

This book is worth its weight in gold for people on the note-taking journey. The quality of content is high and the content per page is absurd--it makes you wonder it is because of the author or because of the note-taking system he uses...
