as mentioned by nick milo linking your thinking video series and his original forum post, ideas and knowledge are often organised by the acronym stir , which was originally created by include speaker name as the term latch
in simpler terms, latch refers to:
- location
- alphabet
- time
- category
- hierarchy (or continuum)
nick milo represents them as stir:
- space
- time
- importance
- relatedness
essentially consolidating the different headspace’s that we jump between when managing ideas and knowledge. so in order to increase the chances of serendipitous connections to be possible, having properties of notes at the very minim cover areas of stir.
although it is easy to fall into the trap of productive procrastination and spend more time working in properties instead of the content of a note, here are some rules or creative constraints i tend to have for my notes.
- title
- date created
- date modified
- tags
- layout
- permalink
