Permanent Notes in Zettelkasten

Some rules for permanent notes...

• Write one idea per note.
• Write as if you are writing for someone else - use full sentences, show sources.
• Be precise, clear and brief
• Should be understood even if you don't know the context it was taken from.

Format/Content of the note should be just these...

• Title
• The Idea
• Tags
• Source
• Links to other notes

Keep this in mind when creating a new permanent/concept note in Zettelkasten...

• Does the new information contradict, correct, support or add to your existing content?
• Can you combine it with existing content to create something new?
• What questions are triggered?

Many people in the PKM space calls this a 'Zettel'(note).
