    Exactly! I feel like when people talk about atomic notes people use these singular phrases like philosophy, taxonomy, or whatever it may and then when it comes to the note it's similar, but even smaller broken down chunks and linking those together does nothing for me, but linking synthesized concepts within a other concepts makes a ton of sense to me.



  • I've been trying to get into Zettelkasten for a long time and it just hasn't really clicked. Until yesterday, hopeful it sticks. I've downloaded almost all the note apps and tried different strategies, but Evergreen Notes https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_notes makes sense to my brain. There's two things that click for me.

    1. Notes are like APIs https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Evergreen_note_titles_are_like_APIs
    2. Notes should be complete phrases https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zLhoRUyjKU665EY16u4XXJy

    It's especially point two. I write in phrases and linking doesn't become this daunting task. Usually I would try to understand information by summarizing, but those links help a ton and really allow me to see how it connects to other ideas. Map of contents can help to eventually go back and put into larger concepts. Also I use Obsidian and have been for a while.

    This is now me. Gosh they were just such beautiful towers it's really sad they just fell like that.
