525: Extending Your Mind Through Connected Notes with Jorge Arango
If there is a topic that has captured my attention more in the last three to four years, I don’t know what it is. I’m talking about the art of note-taking or, as I like to call it, note-making. It’s a phrase that makes a subtle distinction between notes we capture for learning (note-taking), and notes we write to help us think (note-making). Better thinking makes you a better person. And few things extend your mind as quickly and powerfully as the humble note. Notes let you fulfill commitments, manage complicated projects, and make your ideas real. Digital notes take you even further. By using the right tools and a bit of discipline, you can cultivate a “personal knowledge garden” where your thinking will blossom. With this in mind, I’m excited to introduce to you the new book from Jorge Arango called Duly Noted: Extend Your Mind Through Connected Notes. Jorge and I think a lot alike when it comes to this topic. We even use many of the same tools to capture notes, to store notes, and to do our thinking. If you’re looking to get out from under the plethora of information coming out you every single day (and isn’t going away any time soon), then you’re in the right place.
