Decided to bite the bullet and attempt a different method of taking notes. I hope it goes well. Right now I'm just structuring it a little bit and trying to get clear on why I am doing this so that maybe it goes well.
I would be tempted to write this down by hand or something, but it would be harder to edit it and to make and find links between things in a visual way. Just need to find what works for me.
@sim@amerika also Anki is good for remembering stuff, and if you are good at making the right cards (I'm not yet) it could really supercharge your recall and thus the insight you develop
@skells@amerika Anki could be good for learning something like latin. Would be interesting to learn how to make the right cards for my studies. So far it does look involving.
