# 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.
