Zettelkasten and Evergreen MOC understanding → knowledge
Without actually engaging with content, understanding it, and connecting it to existing knowledge, it serves little purpose. Collecting it might feel good, but is useless, and might even be harmful (Fear of missing out and collectors fallacy).
Systematically processing information:
- link to other information atomic notes should be densely linked & The value of a permanent note is in its links
- knowledge is actionable information
- information-action ratio
- create a note in a spaced repetition system
- share a note with others
- Information should be relevant, not only on an emotional but also on intellectual level most information is useless or redundant. filter out everything you won’t make notes about
- For gradual improvement: spaced repetition enables a workflow of incrementally improving notes
