Added a note for myself how I approach note-taking as a reminder why the
things are the way it is.

As much as I like [[id:815b2beb-40a0-4e79-9097-5b688189ad5b][Writing]], I find myself not doing [[id:0d2264a6-e487-4761-818a-d17d2833120f][Note-taking]] as much as I thought.
Here's how I maintain this wiki (which is not much but it is something):
- I only take notes when I found myself remembering the same thing twice.
I very much [[id:9a11ef31-b2a7-43a9-a7a9-48f191838c6e][Prefer referencing over remembering]] (i.e., searching online instead of hardtaking notes).
- Writing my wiki only serves as an occasional thought exercise and an occassional need for a notebook for various things (i.e., Linux, [[id:cd7e8120-6953-44a6-9004-111f86ac52dc][Illustration]]).
Though, this changes things when I learn unfamiliar topics (see [[id:af0ccefe-c671-47bf-94f7-62243c805745][Skill-building]]).
I take a lot of notes... then remove irrelevant and specific bits of information some time later.
- My daily notes are being reviewed weekly which are then put into my notebook.
Even then, this is not consistent as it is always depends on their relevance to me at that time.
I find that my note-taking is not so much built for future me.
Instead, it is a mish-mash of information that is always going to be scattered everywhere only to be picked up occasionally.
I think this is a good thing as [[id:0e2c9eaf-f12a-47b2-9c9c-d1a590db131b][Involuntary attention switch is good for preventing tunnel vision]] sometimes.
Ultimately, note-taking is mostly about quickly finding relevant information, not for archiving knowledge.
How we frame things can always change, our notes will not unless we have updated it.
Sounds like a pain.
