The key insight here is the importance of connecting notes not only within a single class or semester but across different classes and semesters to expand one's knowledge base. By linking new concepts to existing knowledge, such as connecting physics ideas to history facts, it becomes easier to retain and apply information. This method of connecting information, like saying 'because that reminds me of,' helps the brain naturally make connections between subjects. This process of connecting notes and knowledge enables individuals to have a wealth of information at their disposal in various real-world scenarios, enhancing understanding and performance.

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.
