When it comes to managing your digital knowledge, the following are some guiding values and principles to consider.
Your digital library should:
- Be a joy to use
- Be future-proofed (so your notes are robust, not fragile)
- Allow for fast and reliable note retrieval (both today and in 10 years)
- Encourage critical, creative, connective, and generative thinking
- Encourage active, engaged, and contextual thinking
- Encourage lateral and metaphorical thinking
- Allow for the spontaneous cross-pollination of ideas
- Produce finished products (when desired)
- Accumulate in meaningful knowledge over time
- Compound in personal value over time
- Encourage repetition (repetitions strengthen memory)
