</p><p>The main idea of this system is creating a global cloud of <a href="/wiki/2021-05-07-09-22-06#non-linear-notes">Non-linear notes</a>, individually called as zettels, without any hierarchy or separation.
This non-linear system encourages freely linking between each ideas making it easier for gaining new ideas similar to neurons in your brain.
</p><p>While the absence of hierarchy is good for free-linking and filling gaps between wildly different topics, those ideas have to start from somewhere.
The traditional <a href="/wiki/2021-05-07-09-22-06#linear-notes">Linear notes</a> still have a place that it enforces structure.
Eventually, if the structured note is getting too big, you can separate the points into multiple zettels.
</p><p>To make it more efficient, the workflow further describes the idea of creating good future-proof notes (see <a href="/wiki/2021-04-07-18-53-58">Future-proofing your notes is only worth if the future is relevant</a>).
Most writings about this seem to agree to the following ideas.
</p><ul><li><p>A method to capture notes on-the-fly.
This encourages to capture as many ideas as possible.
</p></li><li><p>The lack of hierarchy to describe the notes.
This enforces easier organization and classifying your notes.
