A great thing about taking notes is that it subtly encourages you to live a ‘notes-worthy life’
You end up seeking interesting conversations to build your memex; experimenting with new recipes to add to your collection; reading more widely to find surprising connections etc.

Theory of Notebooks
if you take notes over a long period of time, you will develop a perspective that's impossible to develop from reading any one thing. we have biases that prune away thoughts that don’t fit the narrative in your head in the moment - having a repository of older thoughts that you can revisit is life-giving.
The core concept of the book revolves around the CODE Framework , which stands for:
- Capture - Keep what resonates
- Organize - Save for actionability
- Distill - Find the essence
- Express - Show your work

notetaking tools today can surface known unknowns. If I know that I know this thing, but I don't remember it, I can go find it.
what it doesn't do well is show you unknown unknowns, making connections that you haven't thought of yet.
resonates on so many level. most knowledge management tools are information storage products, not knowledge generation systems
