# Incremental Note-taking - Incremental note-taking is a method proposed by [[Linus Lee]] There are four main principles: - Captured ideas are better than lost ideas - It's better to create new notes than to update old ones - Ideas that can't be recalled are worse than useless - Time is important to how we think about notes **Notes:** - When do you do integrative thinking? - Append-only seems limiting to me - I don't want to lose the past history _and_ I want a clear picture of my understanding of a topic at this moment, that integrates all past thinking and ideas on a subject. #inbox
