> Turning a spark (idea) into remarks (connections and relations) Similar ideas include: - Elaboration - Elaborative interrogation Notemaking is intentionally practicing and refining [[Sensemaking]]: ![[I Don't Believe You + a Blank Ideaverse Is Coming#^xs9p8r]] - If we only continue highlighting, our own internal sparks will fade. - [[Difference between note-taking and note-making]] - Much like how we give prompts to ChatGPT for a response, we will be using reflection questions for guidance to come up with our own answers - Trains your [[Critical Thinking]] by allowing your thinking to explore new connections for [[Making connections between notes]] - [[Visual PKM]] can be where you think? - Information is stored in the notes, but to actually practice your cognition by forming more nuanced relationships, that is where you turn to visual mediums, to form relationships and develop a better understanding beyond just the 2D of text? Through this, we get to go beyond the objectivity of [[Propositional knowing]], to dive more into our unique [[Perspectival knowing]] ## How ### Prompts From [[Linking Your Thinking]]: - If it could, `topic` would shout - What is really about? It is about `topic`, but it is really about … - What did this teach me? - What insight can I teach? - Do I agree or disagree (and why?!) - What's interesting to someone just starting out? - What actionable tips and tricks can I share? - From [[Notemaking Mastery]] - It's interesting or important because… - Personal significance based on our [[Salience landscape]] - It's about X, but it's really about Y… - Getting closer to reality and underlying themes that connect it with universal topics - It reminds me of, it relates me to - Helps promote connectedness ### Process - Environment - Try to not go online so you are only pulling from your own thoughts - Have an initial stimulus like a prompt, insightful highlight, or existing [[Evergreen Notes]] to help you #### During - [[Hmm Because]] - [[RRR Note-Making Method]] - [[Making connections between notes]] for [[Conceptual notes]] - Choose a [[My Maps of Content (MOCs)]] to start working on that has lots of notes pointing to it ### Post - After the session, link the ideas you just thought about to other related ideas in your vault - Would giving it a name better help me understand it? - Concept handles are frameworks to help us understand things better - Structure should be earned - do not quickly go about making structures, do it after you take notes ## Live workshop During the live [LYT sensemaking session](https://youtu.be/twxlov8TCe8), these were my responses to the mentioned topics. ### Kintsugi Important since it can relate to the idea of [[Antifragile]], how things benefit from chaos - Reminds me of the [[Synthesizer]] ideology, in a sense when you add that gold patch it becomes something new and unique - It's good because you are retaining and honoring the previous history but still transforming it into something new and useful ### AI - AI is interesting since we can offload dull and repetitive tasks - Prevents innovation since the AI will return answers based on the average information it has been trained on - It's important because it will only heighten the importance of good thinkers that can think outside the box and the norm - It's bad because people might turn to these as truth and will neglect their own critical thinking - Similar to asking people for advice and for herd mentality as we follow the norm ## Queries ### To Develop 🌱 ```dataview list from #note/🌱 AND !"Hidden" where contains(Links, this.file.link) sort file.mtime desc ``` ### Notes 📝 ```dataview list from [[]] AND !outgoing([[]]) AND !#input AND !#thought AND !"Hidden" sort file.mtime desc ``` ### Inputs 📥 ```dataview table Tags as Type, Links, Created from [[]] AND #input AND !"Hidden" AND !outgoing([[]]) sort file.mtime desc ``` ### Thoughts 💭 ```dataview table Created from [[]] AND #thought AND !"Hidden" AND !outgoing([[]]) sort file.mtime desc ```
