How should you do trash notes
First, why are trash notes used
- you want to save key info in your (semi/-important) Archive, but its very slow so you wanna batch add lots at once. Akin to a quici notebook you tear pages out of, to put in your real slip box
- learn a bit during the trash notes stage, as its close to your thoughts unlike archive
So how should trash notes work in theory
- easy to access/add to when working
- easy to find and extract info
- makes you learn the info while you add it over time
The real tips
- use same place as your Workspace, so you can access quickly. Typically notepad
- put most info into categories, into which you place a “vimp/super” level subcateg for best info
- put the peak of peak SUPER super info to its own place, its own categ not dependent on subject, easy to access w/o splitting into categs
- use categ based zettelkasten, sacrificing most learning for lookup efficiency. Easy to add categs as well
- for lookup, use zettelkasten number #187 and tag #mytag but only use tags as a crutch, try num first
