I learned about the idea in 2022 from a YouTuber Steven Gong. In fact, his website heavily inspired mine.
You brain doesn’t dissect by topics. Why should your notes?
Write micro-notes that breaks the idea into First Principals. Every time you touch on another concept, simply link to it.
Try it out, you can jump around endlessly (eg: (MIPS) Assembly Language).
How to Write Good Notes?
- It should be incredibly easy to make new notes on new topics (that may build on old ones).
- It should be incredibly easy to search for particular ideas. (Use
Omnisearchfor that.) - You have to start somewhere. It’s another example of the compound effect. Make 1 note at a time.
- Write concisely with high entropy.
- Don’t be lazy. Make good notes now, especially for things you don’t understand well (easier said than done). What you don’t understand now, you’ll understand less later.
- Write so that if you forgot everything about a concept, a page (and all of it’s links) could teach you it from scratch. For example: (MIPS) Assembly Language details everything, while linking to other relevant prerequisites.
