+# Foundational document
+This document outlines the basis of my note taking system and serves mostly as a reminder to myself.
+
+I want to train the skill of effective note taking as I believe that it will serve as a foundation
+to any other study and will boost my overall productivity.
+
+## Why take notes?
+By writing down notes we can relate information about a subject in a very personal way using our
+own experiences to relate them to.
+
+We can us our notes as inspiration to create. In a centralized note taking system it is possible
+to easily revisit notes and use them to inspire new ideas.
+
+Another effect of a centralized note system is that it is very easy to search through our notes
+and use them as reference material.
+

+## Quotes
+"If I can't write about something; I don't understand the topic." - Mischa van den Burg? 
+"Clear thinking becomes clear writing; one can't exist without the other." - William Zinsser.
