Skill #2 - How to create a massive digital brain by linking your notes
|
Hello Reader, In the last email, I shared with you how to take notes that don’t die as they land on paper. Today is next level. We’re going to use those notes inside bigger notes. They’re called “Structure Notes”. I do apologize in advance, but there’s no greater analogy I could think about for this aside from Loki’s “bringing together the timelines” scene: (Yeah, Loki now god of freaking note taking) So the workflow now looks like this:
Here’s what that looks like: I had really limited time for this, haha, but I hope you ask questions if anything’s unclear. Cheers! To smarter studying, P.S. I'm planning on publishing whatever the heck I'm interested in — building a business, marketing, being productive, serving your purpose, relationships, etc. If you want to keep in touch, just click here :) P.P.S. Apologies for the late email! I've been in a back-to-back seminar and retreat in the past 2 weeks: Had a really clear direction with our businesses after! Which means I'll have more energy to move forward with my writing. Yay! |

New Bark town was kind of a pain in the ass because I didn’t have a good ear…yet! So I decided to learn other songs in the meantime… …and...
Hello Reader, If you’ve tried using Anki for your problem-based subjects, you’ve probably asked the following… Do I make a card for every problem I encounter? Should I just use practice problems as flashcards? Or should I only use flashcards to memorize formulas? And I really appreciate it when you ask questions like this because it shows how you value understanding over just memorization. (both are good!) But perhaps the most important question: How do I make sure that I understand the...
Hello Reader, Back in 2017 I was a freakin’ teenager with dementia. Not literally, of course — I grasped new concepts quickly if there were visuals, but everything else, ESPECIALLY isolated facts, I found really hard to remember. So whenever we had “memorization” type of tests, I’d become a SOLID 5/10 student. This led me to my “a-ha moment”... If I had to choose one profession I’d learn from (for memorization), I’d choose MEDICINE. After all, they have a LOT to remember and have very little...
