Non-fiction and technical writing, anyways. I haven't started writing about fictional writing now that I think about it. :/

In note-taking, we don't conciously categorize our notes.

|
* Linear notes

The "traditional" method for personal note-taking.
|
|
The notes formed with linear notes tend to be tree-like thus it is useful for ordered information.
|
|
|
|
Useful for initial learning where you want a roadmap of the lesson.
|
|
It is helpful for memorizing as [[id:c0e4fb0e-68f2-4db4-8c3e-f5a7845738c3][Understanding comes first from memory]].
|
|
In the end, we might have more linear notes as [[id:864a9242-eb10-44ad-81b7-c237276523e5][We know more compared to what we understood]].
|
|
|
|
Linear notes also tend to create hierarchy over time.
|
|
While nice to have, it can also limit the information you can put in each note.
|
|
Tools like [[https://www.dendron.so/][Dendron]] help with hierarchical notes.

* Non-linear notes

While linear notes are great with ordered learning, it is not great with linking the notes.
|
|
The solution: free the hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
Non-linear notes free you the worrying where to put the note by removing the structure.
|
|
This allows to freely make notes and extend in any direction.
|
|
However, this makes it difficult if you have no idea how to get started.
|
|
Otherwise, it can take advantage that [[id:9f1f35dd-7cf9-4f47-a9a9-b647e5daa2af][We are more associative than structured]].
|
|
|
|
One of the notable features of non-linear notes is the freedom to link different topics.
|
|
This is where non-linear notes like the ones found in [[id:4259636e-e0e8-49e4-8210-758ec59728a3][Zettelkasten]] or [[id:24b5e144-dda4-482c-9684-958a00d6c986][Roam Research]] tend to shine because of freedom from hierarchy.
