Absolutely!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback

Thanks. Good question, but I’m unsure if you are referring to the UX course or the book Atomic Note-Taking. Short answer is it will be delivered in my sure atomicworkflows.com and the marketing strategy is to teach in UA-cam.

You’re absolutely right and that is a very great observation. This is a good example where the note fails to convey one atomic idea per note, and as such makes it harder to link to. Ideally the benefits could have been a map of content for each one in turn. Then if you’re teaching about the benefits, you can look at the map of content.

Yeah my teaching has been a little more refined as I wrote my book covering all this in more detail. In a nutshell, what I prefer to do now is have the fleeting notes as the quick captures. They are just to get the information into your system with minimal thinking. You're just filtering out the noise and keeping what's useful to you. I like bullet point lists for this. The literature notes is now my understanding of this fleeting note, written atomically with one key idea at a time. This allows me to make sure I fully understand it. I can ask open questions that I don't understand, link the concepts to together, and go back to the source material to make sure I do understand it. Then I take these literature notes and merge them to my slip box as permanent notes. For a new slip box, you wont have anything to merge into, so the notes will pretty much just copy over. But as time goes on, you're going to have to consider how these literature notes from say one book, not relates to all the notes you have from all the books you've read. This is where you do your reflection on it to see if it contradicts or enhances your existing understanding. It feels like more work for sure, because you're going from 1) capture 2) understand 3) reflect. The reason why I like this approach is the understanding phase allows you to let go of any biases you have based on previous reading and properly consider the new material at it's own merits. Great for critical thinking avoiding any form of confirmation bias where you filter out ideas because they don't align with other things you've read. Is this the right way to do it? No idea. Go straight from fleeting to permanent notes if you wish, but just be mindful of what the implications of that may be, such as confirmation biases or jumping to conclusions. Hope that helps.

I often like to use the same format. The main thing to consider with literature notes vs permanent notes is in a literature note it's just your understanding of the material you just read, whereas the permanent notes considers all the material you've read. So while the format may be similar, the contents will evolve in the permanent notes over time.

Thanks. I like to consider that the index notes are a nice way to organise your ideas around a topic. Top level entries are the more abstract ideas, and the sub-entries are the more specific thoughts on it. As for the notes themselves, you may want to sequence them if it naturally continues, but you don't have to. The backlink to your index note will be enough to orient yourself with the other notes on that topic. At least this way, you can have a note that is shared across different index notes. For example, "Learning how to calculate interest rate calculations" could exist in your index note about mathematics, as well as an index note about "Calculating the earnings on savings" or "Calculating the interest on mortgage repayments". Same formula, different contexts.

I do understand. The only thing I suggest is to try it out, and observe what works and what doesn’t. Don’t be afraid to adapt it to make it your own.

You can if you want. But when you get deeper into the process and you have hundreds of permanent notes that already exist. If you are trying to understand what new material (like a book) is really saying, then the literature notes is like a sandbox you can play in to make sure you properly understand it. Only after you understand it, do you connect it to what you have previously learned in your permanent notes. The reason for this is to help avoid any confirmation biases or contractions that get in the way. I cover this a lot in my Atomic Note-Taking book. Here’s an example from the book. If you had read about wizards and made lots of notes about it, and your learning came from Harry Potter, then you would have an understanding of it through that lens. Then if you start to read about wizards from Lord of the Rings, you’d continually have to keep comparing it to Harry Potter before you’ve had the chance to fully understand what Lord of the Rings wizards are like. You’d have confirmation bias, it would slow you down and you would probably miss important key details and ideas. Using literature notes for you understanding of just your fleeting notes in isolation helps free you up to entertain different points of view, contradictory points of view of other things you read, and help you make sure you understand what the author was saying before you decide if you agree. You only make that decision when it comes to your permanent notes. Of course, doing it this way has a trade off of taking more effort. But at least you’ll understand what compromises you may be making if you go right to your permanent notes.

@@Martin_Adams Great explanation. Thanks!

Haha, amazing! 🤩

Thank you. I decided not to publish via Amazon for the time being because it’s not possible to offer the video course upgrade through their platform. Also, their fees are pretty high in that of the 70% or so they you keep, you pay the full print cost. So the fees are calculated on the sale price, not the profit. If it was a black and white book, I’d probably consider it.

Having your notes in a single vault means you can link ideas together across different fields. So it would be possible to link ideas of ‘relationships’ to ‘mathematics’ for example. I personally would separate technical notes from non-technical notes. Mostly because the disciples rarely overlap.

@@Martin_Adams tnx for the response. I have one query, the purpose of the zettelkasten method is to manage & link the atomic ideas for deep understanding and the same thing can be done with the concept /thinking map(linking the different ideas) wht is the difference btw these two visual encoding(Zettelkasten & concept map) technique ??

I’m not familiar enough with the thinking/concept map that you’re referring to. I suspect there might be a lot of overlap with how the Zettelkasten works and the use of Maps of Content to organise the notes for a particular perspective.

@@Martin_Adamsk... would suggest me some article ,web site where I can get some info abt (compare & contrast) thinking maps & Zettelkasten method

Sure thing, this is the track I purchased for the video: elements.envato.com/inspiring-innovation-RHVCYUM

All fair and valid points, thank you. Agree, I should have remembered to link to it, I will add that when I get the chance. As for future videos, the short answer is yes the book does feature as a topic of content while explaining something related. Yes, it is both convenient, and also helps promote the book. This will not always be the case though when I find what’s the right thing to focus on next. I take your feedback seriously and thank you for sharing.

@@Martin_Adams Links to the book would be useful... as for links to Google Notebook LM... odd, perhaps the commenter might use, er, Google to find their own links, no?

@@Martin_Adams - My apologies - I was very harsh. I too am a non-fiction author and so I know how difficult it can be to get the message out. Perhaps you could share how you use Ai for copy editing and proof reading, or some other related tasks? Keep up the good work!!

Yes, exactly. I was very curious to test this out with my Zettelkasten notes but I couldn’t find an easy way to insert them. The hallucinations in ChatGPT was shame as I was hoping it could point me to new material to read, but turned out it just made it up.

Yeah this video is a little old now and I'm a bit more strict with keeping things in a single folder. As for the Zettelkasten component, it's mostly about using it's more atomic nature, internal links across notes and having the maps of content where it becomes really useful. By having these links, you can keep track of the dependencies you have on the tech you're using. For example, if you have a Map of Content on which SSL certificates you're managing, whenever a thing depends on the certificate, it can link to it. Now if you needed to change the domain, you could find every instance where you've depended on it.

Thank you. The skills are really something that can last a lifetime. I find value in it for my professional career. If you want to explore what you can do with note taking in your career, check out my book atomicnotetaking.com

My recommendation is to create one vault as you can start to link your ideas and concepts together when you really think deeply about your notes. And example is connecting a field of engineering to psychology. It’s possible that you could be looking at what causes mechanical failures in engineering machines, but that could spark an insight where you see patterns in personal relationships, such as small misalignments causing vibrations. (This is a completely made up example by the way). That said, I do prefer to keep highly technical topics like programming away from my other topics. But generally speaking, one vault is the recommendation as it allows you to cross pollinate ideas.

@Martin_Adams Thank you for your reply Martin.

Hey, only just saw this message. The URLs all seem fine to me and no warning in my browser. Happy to take a look if you wanted to email me the URLs you're trying to use? You can DM them to me on 𝕏 if you that works - twitter.com/Martin_Adams

Thank you Thomas 🙏

Thank you. Great suggestion. In my own book Atomic Note-Taking I took a more practical and goal driven approach with teaching the Zettelkasten, and there is a lot of focus on how to ask questions and generate new insights from your notes.

Thanks. I didn't want my course to focus on the tools as there's way too much content of that out there already. I wanted to show you how to study better and think better using any tool.

Thank you! I'm so glad to hear that this video has helped you.

I don't any more. I like to keep them there and have your literature and permanent notes reference your fleeting notes. Generally you'll find your fleeting notes reference the original material you've researched. So having that full audit chain of original text, to notes, to ideas in your Zettelkasten means you can keep on top of where your ideas are originating from. That's just my personal preference. You could archive them in some way though so it doesn't clutter up your app, but being able to follow the reference chain can be helpful, especially if you need to cite your courses in an publication of some sort.
