#+title: Building a Second Brain
|

|
||||
Organizing notes with organic connections to retain and be able to recall
|
||||
knowledge using a separate repository from our brains.
|

|

This is acheived by [[id:29ff390c-d44c-4860-be52-c8ebe17fde57][Taking atomic notes]] and [[id:6d08493c-5337-448f-83eb-53d3891da383][Making connections between notes]] in
|
||||
something like a [[id:d3c18b58-db42-4c5f-a1e4-12382a900f4b][Zettelkasten]]. This lets us offload information into an external
|
||||
database, and then make and utilize the same sort of associative connections
|
||||
between bits of information that our brains naturally use to recall them.

* Core concepts
|
||||
- Notes should be concise and constrained to a single concept. Multiple concepts
|
||||
should be described separately and related via links.
|
||||
- Notes should be taken in your own words to facilitate understanding, and be
|
||||
written in such a way that no additional context is necessary to understand
|
||||
them.

through notes on related concepts chosen by how you'll want to come across the

note in the future.

#+title: How did Niklas Luhmann maintain his Zettelkasten?
|
||||
|
||||
Niklas Luhmann maintained his [[id:d3c18b58-db42-4c5f-a1e4-12382a900f4b][Zettelkasten]] using two boxes (kasten). One box was
|
||||
for his [[id:18f1fec1-b396-4f11-952c-acf80b245f71][Literature notes]], and the other for his [[id:596f1ebd-00da-40ae-8341-8147e9a352db][Permanent notes]], which were
|
||||
based upon his literature notes. His fleeting notes would be elsewhere, and if
|
||||
deemed appropriate, would be reviewed with literature notes and turned into a
|
||||
permanent note.
