DAY 10 • Conducting a litmus test on your understanding - Nette Laderas

A relire

Hello Nessers, and welcome to the tenth day (already!) of the Note-Making Challenge!

Literature notes are the backbone of all the information you don’t want to forget because you want to use it later in your writing or your thinking.

They are the litmus test of how well you understand what the original author is saying.
Using a “phases of matter” analogy, if fleeting notes are the gas phase (the fast-moving thoughts), literature notes are your precipitated thoughts, like a gas that turns into a liquid.

Literature notes are meant to be short and extremely selective.
They are written in your own words.
Highlighting, quoting and copy-pasting aren’t your friend when it comes to literature notes.

Want to put these ideas into practice? Let’s dive into making some more literature notes 🥳

1. 1. Today’s challenge
      

Go to our shared graph and open today’s template named Day 10.

Once you have the template open, shift-click on “Source Material” next to “Reference Notes” so it opens in the sidebar.

Abstract out your first pass at taking fleeting notes underneath the #FleetingNotes tag as children blocks.

Write down what resonates with you as you read through the passage, and capture enough so that when you come back to this tomorrow, you’ll have remembered what this was all about, and why these things stood out for you.

This is what today’s exercise will look like:


(Visual)

Keep going with your fleeting notes by processing them through the second and third pass.

Process these through the second pass, abstracting what you can from the initial fleeing notes from yesterday, and then summarize at the top-level parent block, which is the third pass.

After you complete that, it’s now time to convert these to literature notes. These will be your fourth and fifth pass.

Do you notice how — if you thoroughly went through all the previous steps — this level of abstraction of what the author is saying ought to be much deeper than if you had just captured the original fleeting notes?

When you’re done, share in the comment section how it went.

As usual, let me know if you have any questions, have fun, and I’ll see you tomorrow!
