Knowledge Expansion and Organization Process

The process of organizing information entails two main phases: expanding and contracting. During the expand phase, one delves into all available resources, highlighting interesting parts without pressure to retain everything. This phase involves exploration without the worry of fitting the acquired knowledge into a specific structure. The next step is the contract phase where all highlighted information is reviewed and organized into note cards or a text file for further development. Related ideas are grouped together to form an outline of the material, allowing for a structured and coherent presentation of the knowledge acquired during the expand phase.
