**Allow the notes to become better over time using these tips.** Don’t highlight everything. Aim for each layer being the best 10-20% of the layer below it. ([[Progressive Summarization & Essentialism]]) Don’t highlight notes when you capture them. ==Highlight them upon revisit== when you’re looking to use them in some context. This saves time & energy, and makes highlights have a purpose. Each time you “touch” a note, you should make it a little more discoverable/useful for your future self. Leave it better than how you found like, like when you’re camping. (see: [[Organize Notes for Action]]). This builds the [[Archipelago of Ideas]] and is a version of [[Build On Yourself]]. **** # More ## Source - [[Building A Second Brain]] ## Related - [[Progressive Summarization]] - [[Organize Notes for Action]] - [[Progressive Summarization & Essentialism]]
