## 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.

## How
Using the para method; a method of note taking by Tiago Forte (Building a second brain)

Projects: Anything that requires the completion of multiple tasks to reach a certain outcome.
Areas: Something that you are responsible for for a longer period of your live.
Resources: Notes about resources that you use to do anything, such as tools and programming languages for example.
Archive: Notes that you feel are nog longer relevant to you. They might end up being useful in unexpected ways
so don't throw away!
