Great workflow. Quibble. If you are using Ahrens' terminology, Literature Notes *are* permanent notes. What I think you are trying to say, when you say, "permanent notes" is Main Notes or notes that land in your main slip box. Literature Notes are permanent notes that land in your bibliographical slip box. If by literature notes you mean freeform notes on your reading, that falls into the category of fleeting notes. Or as Ahrens called them Fleeting Literature Notes. Ahrens didn't use labels much though. These were all more descriptive. My one criticism of Ahrens' book is that you have to pay super close attention to catch what he really was saying and he assumes you caught the nuance. Most people don't seem to have.

@@EffectiveCo If you are using Luman's terminology, and that is where the whole ZC rage came from, then your terminology is basically right. Using simpler terminology, what is called a literature note is actually usually called a bibliography card, or note. It contains information about the work (book) at the highest level. Just enough to tell you if it has what you are looking for and allow you to locate the book later. It gets slightly confusing after that. Some of the references listed on the literature note are turned into permanent notes which are supposed to be atomic notes. What is left somewhat unclear is the nomenclature and exact use of the more detailed notes that are fleshed out from the permanent notes and include all kinds of other observations made as those notes are "processed". My landing on this video was driven by me desire to clarify that. Still looking.

Hey Justine. We have a similar workflow. In my case I use roam. Another thing I’ve done, following Cornell style note-taking, is to phrase a question to myself first. The question would be answerable by my permanent note. The questions are what I use for something like a spaced repetition tool. It would come up in the future and I’d have to recall my permanent note to answer.

Very cool overview... as for the incubating note on education coming from stimulating environment, if you haven't already, be sure to look into Piaget's idea's on cognitive constructivism, Lev Vygotsky's theory of social constructivism and the related theories of education those spun off. Maria Montessori, Standford's education's Bing Nursery School, Seymour Papert and the heavy influence it had on Alan Kay, which directly led to the invention of the computer GUI and modern techniques of programing

Hi, very useful video! I have a question: Is there a reason you use [[productivity]] in the notes instead of [[020 Productivity]], or even why not use both? Or it's just for the sake of the linear sequence of the nodes in the graph? Or is there a moment when you decide to put your note in a "000" level note? Don't all of your permanent notes go straight to the MOC once they're crafted? I mean, why should this loop be avoided: Index -> *MoC* - literature -> permanent -> *MoC* ? For example, at 22:30-22:40 Thanks in advance!
@EffectiveCo

I used [[020 Productivity]] as an index, a jumping-off point about major topics relating to productivity. The [[productivity]] link is solely for items relating to the topic of productivity. I realize this probably doesn't make sense for most people, but the way I was using/thinking about it, dividing it made sense.

Thank you for showing your workflow. I am sure I am not the only one who is constantly looking for a better, more efficient way to process information. I was wondering if you could comment on a few things? I have been using my kindle in that way for a while and while the iPad is a better typing experience using the kindle app, I have found typing and notetaking very awkward on the kindle itself unless the notes are just one or two words. I also try to use the apple pencil now that it converts it to text but that is awkward too. Second, where do you do your actual writing? Do you use Obsidian to write blog posts or other types of writing you might do? Thank you for your content and your time.

It is a bit weird to take notes on the Kindle directly. You're right that iPad is a much better experience.
