I love space ships and drawing space ships. As a results my notes have always been full of space ships and that becomes a metaphor. Big important ideas get big spaceships next to them. Connected ideas get space ships flying back and forth between them. Popular ideas get fleets of space ships drawn next to them. Controversial ideas get highlighted with space battles. People who see my notes and try to make use of them are often critical, but this has always helped both to engage me with note taking and to enjoy going over and really understanding notes when reviewing material. So for me note taking really is rocket science.
- Apocryphon 4y agoFinally, a notes-taking system on HN that makes some damn sense.
- antupis 4y agoYeah this much better than insert here some obscure usually German sounding word note system.
- layer8 4y agoIsn’t the above the Raumschiffnotizen system?
- janandonly 4y agoWhy can I only give a +1 to brilliant posts like this? I had to laugh out loud. Thanks for making my day.
- alostpuppy 4y agoAgree 100%. The rest of them just make me feel bad about myself.
- ravi-delia 4y agoYeah, I'm quite proud at how my doodling skills have improved now that I take "notes". Keeps me from zoning out, and while my pen is out I find i actually do write stuff with it
