So we don't capture all information thrown at us just for the sake of it. An important part of this is that we train to recognize what resonates with us and what does not. This improves also our knowledge of ourselves. + +The author advises to organize notes by "action": asking the question "How can I use this information for my current projects?", which also acts as a filter for information. +I'm not sure I agree with that, because we may end up missing out on useful information. +I feel it's more about having information at the ready as I need it, but this begs the question: how do we know we when we need it?.. Then the circle comes around: maybe it is exactly why we need to only focus on things that we need now. + +Distill notes to their essence so that our future self doesn't have to read through pages of text when we want to recall information about the subject. Only keep the main takeaways. Making sure our notes are easily understandable for our future self is crucial here. + +The idea of Express is mainly that we can gather information all we want but it only really matters when we use it for something. Even if we feel like we lack information we should always strive to produce some form of output using the knowledge that we already have. This helps us understand more about the information that we have and leads to new insights. \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
