A well distilled (yet detailed if you follow all the links) summary of good practices for good-thinking-supported-by good-note-taking.

The actual form of the piece nicely serves to illustrate (one of) the thesis it puts forward: that more complex, fully articulated works can grow out of a body of more atomic, partial, linked notes.

I found particularly interesting these assertions: - knowledge work practices are often ad-hoc (often unknowingly) - note writing is a core skill of knowledge work - note writing skill often plateaus because improvement is not ‘salient’
