In this video I walk through the process of taking a note stub (e.g. some information you’ve quickly captured) and expanding it into something more comprehensive and useful. I review the sources I use to add information to the note, talking about why I value some sources more than others, and explain what I’m thinking about when deciding which sources to reference.
I’m mainly talking about permanent notes in this video, although the points I raise would probably be useful for other kinds of notes (e.g. project or daily notes).
