Principle 1: Take Short Notes

One of the main principles of connected note-taking is to aim for taking short notes. This goes against the traditional approach of lengthy, detailed notes. The idea is to capture key ideas and insights in a concise and focused manner. By keeping the notes brief, it allows for easier organization and flexibility in connecting different concepts together. The goal is to promote more efficient and effective thinking by avoiding the overload of information that can come from excessively long notes.
