If you have a concept, write it down and see what you can link to it. Often times an imperative, descriptive title and backlinks are all a note needs to have longevity, other times you may need a sentence or two of context so that you don't forget what you were thinking. Evergreen notes are the fundamental unit of [[knowledge]] in [[My TIM]]. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Conceptual notes vary in size and scope]] > - [[Densely linked webs of thought provide intuitive access to knowledge]] > - [[Evergreen notes organize knowledge so that it can grow]] > - [[Evergreen notes should be updated over time]] > - [[Note structures should help curate knowledge]] > - [[Stub notes are data structures for implicit knowledge gathering]] > - [[Use spaced repetition as a memory tool for your second brain]] > - [[Why is evergreen note-taking SO GOOD]] > - [[Write your notes like you're planting an evergreen forest]] > - [[Write your notes with a system not within a system]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[001 Folder Hierarchy]] > - [[Ever(green) structure until 2022-01-14]] > - [[Andy Matuschak's Evergreen Notes]] > - [[201 Welcome]] > - [[202 NOW]] > - [[203 Me]] > - [[204 Writing]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Zettelkasten]] > - [[conceptual notes]] > - [[knowledge management]] > - [[source notes]] > - [[topic notes]] > - [[note writing]] > - [[42 Knowledge Management]] > - [[A totally integrated machine should be infinitely scalable]] > - [[Communities are knowledge graphs]] > - [[Curate source notes and definitions in your second brain to avoid junk text]] > - [[Defined relationships are superior to contextual backlinks]] > - [[Distinguish between purposeful tagging and coincidental tagging of information]] > - [[Evergreen notes don't allow for new ideas]] > - [[Evergreen notes help us bridge the gap between knowledge and understanding]] > - [[How to understand what you read]] > - [[Longform media lets you reach people where they are at, short form media lets you reach people where you are at]] > - [[Most problems cannot be significantly understood through a single framework]] > - [[Obsidian's graph is useful in the implicit and dynamic relations it can reveal]] > - [[Only categorize as much as your data requires]] > - [[Organization systems are not mutually exclusive]] > - [[Productivity tools are often most useful in how much work they inspire you to do]] > - [[The fragility of information in knowledge management]] > - [[There is a limit to how much information you can process at once]] > - [[Use Obsidian tags as temporal classifiers]] > - [[Using spaced repetition for your conceptual notes]] > - [[What are the differences between evergreen notes and conceptual notes]] > - [[What are the different kinds of information in books]] > - [[What is language's fundamental unit]] > - [[Writing is a catalyst of understanding]] > - [[You need to take what you read out of context]] > - [[You need to teach yourself what you read]] > - [[my TO(DO) and EVER(GREEN) structure]] > - [[How I outlined my brain (literally just use all of the organization techniques at once)]] > - [[Using Obsidian's graph as a class companion]]
