First, I want to clarify that my system is not Zettelkasten. I employ some principles from it, but my notes are not structured, referenced, and IDed in the manner described by Niklas Luhmann. (Lead Para)
Why have I mentioned Zettelkasten? It’s because it has been immensely hyped over the past five years. I started reassembling my notes after reading [[How to Take Smart Notes]] by [[Sonke Ahrens]]. Over time, my system has absorbed some best practices from genuine Zettelkasten and also evolved according to my needs and my understanding of knowledge management. (BODY)
- If taking four types of notes: fleeting, literature, permanent, and project notes, seems difficult or not useful in the classroom environment, [[there are at least several other types of note-taking processes]].
- And if you think that note-taking slows you down compared to others, you are not wrong; it does. ^dc5919
- [[Эта странная жизнь — Гранин Д#Note-taking and reading for understanding slows you down]]
- But its time investment pays off.
- A small idea that demands explanation: when talking about note-taking and reading, I’ve been experimenting with the [[Emergence of idea network through decomposition|idea of decomposition]]. ^deconstruction
- This is only one side of the coin and a big concept. It’s actually not so much about decomposition as it is about [[I am often called a constructivist, which is actually true|the deconstruction of someone else’s wisdom]].
- It means that it is followed by [[декомпозиция есть рекомпозиция|reconstruction]].
- And this leads to the writing of the note. Maybe that’s how I should start the book about note-taking.
- That it is not so much about writing something but about reconstructing ideas in a new setting, which eventually leads to the growth of expertise.
[!NOTE] Comment I’ve been toying with the idea of a reading workshop. The more I play with the concept, the more I realize that we must start with decomposition [[#^dc5919]], then move to superficial reading.
- The statement above is false. I checked the hypothesis. It proved to be wrong, or I don’t know how to improve on it.
- Be passionate about your notes.
Ideas I Am Currently Mulling Over (Black matter)
- What if, instead of making one big note with all ideas from the book, we break them into chunks of ideas?
- It bothers me because the backlinks for such a note are messy.
- It’s difficult to navigate, to understand what leads where, and maybe to find a pattern. Or… I just need to try it and see if I can find what I need. Like opening any note from Dettmer and seeing what is linked to it.
- DONE! So far, a couple of examples among others are below:
- [[To imagine something is almost like understanding it|Some notes from Povarnin’s How to Read Books]]
- [[Why invite Socrates into the classroom?|Warnsworth’s Socratic Method]]
- What have I actually achieved by this approach?
- I can now collect ideas and manipulate them better.
- Organize them into an emerging domain and sphere of interest.
- And see how my thinking is developing by observing the [[2000 words. Transforming a sequence of notes into a linear, clear, persuasive text is difficult|arrow]].
- I can now collect ideas and manipulate them better.
- I’ve also improved the tail section of my note template by adding the ontological section with child, source, friend, next.
- Though I don’t use «friend» much, I can change it into something like counter-argumentation, or an opposing view.
Misc Ideas
- Smart notes can’t substitute the necessity of being smart.
- That’s the reason why I rewrite notes all the time by hand.
- To work with the ideas on a deeper level.
