Instead of taking notes you throw away after exams, take conceptual notes which accumilates over time. Link them together and you’ll come across them and use them all the time.
Don’t note down anything you can easily search up on the internet. Do note down critical thinking answers, analytical approaches, new and original connections.
You’re not making notes to hoard data, you make it however ugly, unorganized, or accronyms you want that’s intelligable and future proof.

First principle thinking: learning based on your accumilating understanding and past knowledge of fundamentals
- Conceptual Note Taking instead of Sequential Note taking
  - Conceptions are connected together and easier to recall if you recall it’s neighbors
  - Similar to locations and things that have relative neighbors
Keeping your old notes and what you learned over your life
If you collect how people think about each conept instead of putting it in your own words, you’ll never think of an origianl thought
- Concepts can be connected together to create original concepts that you can develop later down your life, no matter if it’s from years ago
What you should note down in lectures?
- You don’t have to remember things you can search up easily on the internet
- Note down analytical, critical thinking, things you can’t find on google easier without research
  - Past research can be made into permanent notes
Your notes doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but yourself
- Use shortcuts, analygies

You’re not here to hoard data, you’re here to use the data to make things.

Use MOCs, very important for connecting notes
- You can change the organization of a top level note folder easily by changing how you connect notesw
