Some fleeting notes

§ Three types of notes: Fleeting notes, Permanent notes and Project notes

§ Permanent notes,

... are written in a way that can still be understood even when you have forgotten the context they are taken from.

- It shoul be written in one's own words, because it gives one a chance of realizing one's lack of understanding.

- The text of permanent notes is independent from the context which one extract them from. In this way the notes can be embedded into new contexts of our own thinking, the different contexts within the slip-box.

- Instead of focuisng on what has been mentioned in literature, what is not mentioned is what should be noted in permanent notes. They normally refer to

... frame, the theoretical background, methodological appraoch or perspective of the text we read.

§ Connection with other notes in slip-box:

- To figure out the purposes of making the connection, one should be clearly aware of the importance of the connection: what interets you the most (contradiction, backup and comparison)

- Finding the gist: skills to find the gist requires deliberate practice: take condensed reformulated accounts of a text.

Rewriting what was already written almost automatically trains one to shift the attention towards frames, patterns and categories in the observations, or the conditions/assumptions (what is not meant, what is excluded if a certain claim is made?).

- Different types of links: overview of topics, note-to-note links, and follow-up and note that follows on the current note

- The standard of taking permanent note is the value it adds to the actual slip-box
