How to Take Smart Notes. One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking by Sönke Ahrens

informative inspiring slow-paced

4.0

The slip-box or Zettelkasten method presented in this book resonated with me. As soon as I understood the idea, I changed the way I took my notes both at work and at home, and I can see how it can help me write better and also prepare presentations and other bodies of work (I chose the software "LogSeq" for it). The main problem with the book is that I understood how it worked right at the beginning and the remaining pages felt like fillers to justify a book instead of a manual. The author refers to this and explains why it had to be a book, but I disagree. I must give it 4 stars because it has changed the way I work for the better.
