# 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.
