> How to take Smart Notes
I have read over 100 pages of the book but to be honest, I am disappointed with it. I learn best by examples, the book is failing short of examples on how to use Zettelkasten. My expectation was the book was going to walk me through the process of implementing Zettelkasten like a tutorial, but instead it keeps going back in circles, talking about why I should use Zettelkasten. I am about to finish the book but I still have a lot of questions.
- ZainRiz 6y agoOP here Yeah, that book was pretty light on practical advice. I didn't find much in there that I hadn't already discovered by reading blog posts about it One thing that was unique though, was a set of questions to ask yourself while reading to get extract the most insights out of the material. I posted them here if you're interested: https://twitter.com/ZainRzv/status/1195038683461611521 https://twitter.com/ZainRzv/status/1195038683461611521
- komali2 6y agoGenuine curiosity: why do you take the extra effort to choose and then add an emoji at the end of most of the sentences in these tweets?
- ZainRiz 6y agoIt doesn't take much effort. Win + '.' opens up the emoji selector, and just start typing a word to search the emojis. Why bother? Sometimes they help to convey emotion that would otherwise be missing. Other times it helps to break up dryer blocks of text. That, plus it's fun :)
- specialist 6y agoWeird suggestion that might help: My second reading of Test Driven Development, I literally did the entire book along with the author, front to back. That's when it clicked. The actual manual mechanical kinesthetic activity somehow made it work for me.
