1. You won’t remember if you don’t write it down
2. You won’t write it down if it’s difficult to capture immediately
3. You won’t accumulate knowledge if you don’t consistently and frequently add to it
4. You won’t find value if you don’t reference it
5. Thinking out loud (I.e. publishing notes) applies social pressure to understand what you write and the right kind of self-filtering
6. Publishing amplifies the intrinsic feedback loop (signaling, friend catching)
7. 1:1 relationship of a note to an idea lowers friction to writing
8. Better notes leads to better work (writing essays, creative ideas, critical thinking)
9. Bi-directional linking creates flexible networks of ideas without difficult to plan hierarchy
10. Links are as valuable as the notes themselves
