I just finished reading Duly Noted: Extend Your Mind through Connected Notes by Jorge Arango.📚

    @V_ any good insights or thought provoking ideas?

    @ChrisJWilson, that is a good question — I think not. But I think this is because I had already read other books about the topic (How to Take Smart Notes). So Duly Noted was more of an overview book on the note-taking space for me. Therefore, I would not recommend it if you already have experience in the PKM / note-taking space. If you are completely new and don’t know anything about it, then it is a good book.

    @V_ thanks. I read how to take smart notes about four years back and loved it. I blitzed a Zettlekasten book last week as a refresher and it reminded me of some things I had forgot and had some nice applications of ideas so I was wondering if you’d had a similar experience.

    @ChrisJWilson, you’re welcome. Which book did you read as the refresher?

     on

    @V_ Digital Zettlekasten by David Kadavy. I think you could get 99% of the value I got from reading this post.
