A new notetaking system
Notes that build on each other.
Folders store ideas by location. NetworkNotes stores them by relationship, so every note you add strengthens the ones already there, and your thinking compounds.
Connect, don't just file
Folders give a note a location; links give it relationships. Organise however you like; NetworkNotes just adds the links on top.
Create, don't curate
Don't perfect the system. Every extra rule is upkeep instead of thinking, so NetworkNotes keeps almost none: write a note, link it, move on.
Concentrate, don't accumulate
A small, richly connected network beats a sprawling archive. Fewer notes, more pathways between them.
Start thinking in connections.
Stop sorting ideas into folders you'll never reopen. Start linking them, and watch your notes turn into a network.
