up:: ACCESS 笔记组织法

虽然叫永久笔记permanent note ,但个人理解其实更贴切的翻译是常青笔记evergreen note。一来,根据形式,和闪念笔记文献笔记区分开。二来,根据目的,它是永恒且发展的,能为将来所用的永久笔记。

暂时先把日常片段式的思考和闪念,以短小的卡片笔记的方式,直接丢到这里,不强调文件夹分类,而是尝试通过特殊文件名、标签和链接等方式,让这些笔记具备可发现性,更容易被将来的自己找到。

这里的MOC是事后总结归纳,不强调完备性。

一些临时的,pending的又不舍得删除的笔记先放到Pending文件夹里,等以后再处理。

The cards folder is one of my favorite places because it has umami. Apparently umami is one of the five basic tastes. There are: Sweetness, Sourness, Saltiness, Bitterness, and that oddball Umami.

Umami is hard to describe but you know when it’s there. The same is true of this folder’s contents. It’s a mixture of insights and ideas, concepts and connections, all mingling together to create that mysterious full mouthfeel that magnificently completes any meal for the mind.

You may have a few subfolders here too. I have a “People” subfolder. If I was an amateur chef with a growing number of recipe notes, I’d put a “Recipes” folder here. If I was making building a personal library of important exercises, I’d likely make an “Exercises” folder.

So, what are “cards”? Anything that is a bit of knowledge that you might call a “thing” or a “statement about things”.

Yes, the definition is not rigid, but it works.
