Linking Your Thinking

Bullet Journaling for the Notion generation in this guide to notemaking in the digital age. Milo shares his note-connecting strategy to give us a new and revolutionary way to transform endless information into effortless insights. At its core are profound shifts in how we engage with ideas:

First, stop taking notes and start making notes. Notemaking is a thinking practice disguised as a writing practice. It replaces the habit of passively collecting other people's words with authentic engagement-writing notes in our own words to make better sense of the things that matter.

Second, adopt the Connecting Habit. Each time we link one digital note to another, we create pathways for our thoughts to intersect and spark meaningful leaps of insight-giving us a reliable method to unlock our creative potential.

The downstream effects are even more powerful. In the process of linking notes, we build our own Ideaverse: a digital ecosystem of ideas. While the internet serves our outer world, an ideaverse nourishes our inner world. But both are powered by the same energy source: links.
