# LYT Cards/Idea Emergence

• Focus this session: Level 1 and 2
• When we’re talking about critical thinking, we are swimming in the Sea of Uncertanity
• Do not be a perfectionist researcher: “I want to learn how to take notes in the proper way before I start!”
• Agile v.s. Waterfall
  • 
  • Waterfall: have everything planned before hand
  • Agile: do things iteratively

# What is Agile Notemaking?

• 3 key ideas:
  • Exploratory
  • Iterative
  • Practical
• The PKM Pyramid
  • 
  • Don’t overthink the tools
  • The right question to ask first: what ways of thinking should I support?
• PKM Mindset
  • Follow the flow
    • Counters the “Organize first” mindset, which is folder-based
    • Following the flow is link-based
    • Freewriting exercise
  • Write ideas, not documents
    • Document-based Idea Management
      • documents are interconnected chains of thought…we leave these ideas boxed inside documents
    • Atomic notes free up ideas
    • Soup of Notes exercise
      • No folders, no tags, no structure
      • Only add links if they come naturally
      • Focus on creating atomic notes
      • Notice when you are “struggling” (i.e. “I wish there was a way to…”)
  • Links for ideation vs sharing
• Takeaways
  • Climb your own PKM Pyramid
  • Use Freewriting as a form of meditation
  • Idea Management is not Document Management
