Will you go back to your notes and refer to them after you learnt something? Personally, I use taking notes as a method of learning and not as something I will come back to refer again. I find it is easier to just google for what I am looking for rather than go back to my notes.
But, I do get good ideas to explore further when I am learning something new. Once I finish learning, such ideas don’t come back to me again. So, I use Mindmap to record such ideas and references to the material, I was learning from, when the idea came. These ideas become the basis for the projects that I pursue to further solidify the learnt material or a side project or a hobby project etc.
- mraza007 6y agoI think its really useful to have track of things you come across when doing a project and learning something new. Yes you can google search but if you have already written it somewhere its just easier to go back to and further more you can even share it with other people and they might discover something new too.
- akg_67 6y agoYou are confusing “come across when doing a project” aka documenting project or information specific to a project (ex: config, strategy etc) with “learning something new” (ex: neural networks, linear algebra). They are two different activities and requires different strategies. One requires proper documentation not scribbled notes, the other requires learning and notes as a method of learning and not a tool of reference.
