Notes should be created and connected to existing knowledge for better retrieval and deeper learning. Critical thinking and creative thinking are essential in note-making through the seven C's: create, connect, clarify, color, critique, compare, and curate. Clarifying the essence of the concept, using metaphors to describe it, critiquing its aspects, and comparing it with other concepts help in understanding nuances and internalizing the knowledge. By following these steps, one can curate comprehensive notes that cover all aspects of a concept.

Nick Milo is a YouTuber, blogger, and creator of the Linking Your Thinking Workshop, where he guides people of all different backgrounds to learn how to bring curiosity and joy back into notetaking.

We talk about why Nick transitioned from Evernote to Obsidian, the power of link-based thought and map-making, how students can become more engaged with their learning, and how we can use the concepts of flow and gamification to make real life more enjoyable.
