Episode notes

So much is lost in the summarization process if you don't do those isolated golden nugget connecting of ideas. So it's one of the ways how we can, by separating ideas and connecting the dots between how they relate to each other, we can see things that actually grow from that. Could you give us an example of like maybe a research endeavor that you worked on where this process was really helpful? Well, it's always hard to think about examples that are not too complex to explain.

Bianca Pereira is a researcher and educator and has built the Prolific Researcher community with the goal of making research easy. She helps writers think like a researcher and build their own low-friction workflow to capture, organize and grow their ideas into research-based content.

In this episode, you will learn:

How to adopt the mindset of a researcher into your PKM workflow
Why you should add your unique perspective and interests into your notes
Why you should link together notes at the atomic level
