Creative ideas are formed by relating seemingly unrelated ideas.
By keeping a mix of very diverse ideas close together, as in the same obsidian vault for example, we can play around with organizing them in different ways as one would with letters when playing scrabble and find that unexpected new ideas can emerge.

The most important factor in whether your notes can survive that journey into the future is their discoverability—how easy it is to discover what they contain and access the specific points that are most immediately useful.
The technique is simple: you highlight the main points of a note, and then highlight the main points of those highlights, and so on, distilling the essence of a note in several "layers."
+
+Do this only when you're about to use a note, when preparing a project for example. (Page 138).
+
+The main point of doing this is to help our future self be able to reference and lookup things quickly. If a piece of information cannot be consumed quickly it's practically useless.
+
+We can use our time learning new things, reading/watching interesting things by taking notes of it to be prepared for future challenges.
+
+Put the distilled information from initial notes into a new file and set a reminder to look at it a week or so later to see if it's still easy to use. If not, use the original to improve. Only throw away the original when it's distilled form is useful.

On page 57 [1] Tiago mentions that Software Engineers store snippets of code to create a library of useful snippets for later use.
Until now i've mostly jotted down how to use things in text; but I think this tells me that I should also note snippets of code whenever applicable.
