Gabriel Arazas a506b6696f Make notes on creativity and ideas
With updates on how it relates on note-taking (among other things).
Since I have note-taking notes, that's the only thing to relate to right
now but there is a lot of untouched thoughts on other things such as
programming and illustration generally how inspirations and innovations
came from already existing things.

That's how successors are generally made but that goes for another
writing session.

Evergreen notes

Just like how books are not published from first draft, notes should have the same process. With this in mind, evergreen notes should have the following properties:

  • It is atomic.
  • It enables you to develop further insight.
  • As you develop more evergreen notes, more time is put on editing them rather than creating them.

Writing evergreen notes is a Note-taking process to make your current notes a worthwhile read. It encourages Understanding comes first from memory and realizations from all ideas including failed ones as Failed ideas can be repurposed.

Getting started to write evergreen notes

  • Start small and improve later. Most notes start as Fleeting notes and later create evergreen notes as you get more insight on the topic. Create an inbox to store your thoughts.
  • Make a habit out of writing.
  • Reflect on the common topics between the transient notes for each video, books, paper, etc. As you write more notes on more resources, you'll begin to notice the overlapping concepts between each note. The overlapping concepts are the best starting points.
