Gabriel Arazas b088086b06 Merge evergreen notes into the notebook
Now, it's all under the notebook umbrella. Seems to be appropriate as it
is just my notes after all.

I also updated some notes from there. I didn't keep track of what it is
this time. Something about more learning notes extracted from my
"Learning how to learn" course notes and then some. Lack of time and
hurriness just makes it difficult to track but it should be under
version control already.

Advice shouldn't be taken literally

  • advice, suggestions, whatchamacallit should only be used as frameworks, not a dogma
  • furthermore, advice are contextual; what works from the person whose giving the advice is different from yours from the environment, financial status, etc.
  • examples:

    • in note-taking, you may have heard of making Evergreen notes with one idea per note; some may take the advice in a literal sense; alternatively, atomicity can be interpreted as one message that can be made of multiple ideas which works more for you
    • in productivity, multiple advice on habits have been thrown such as the Pomodoro technique and bullet journaling; some may practice as-is but you can modify the number of reps in a Pomodoro session or add another type of bullet for writing
  • eventually the advice will depend on your interpretation; Every copy of the techniques is personalized
  • additionally, when giving advice, most people can read between the lines; it's not like they cannot understand context
