## Description

A proven note-taking technique to enhance productivity, writing, and long-term learning. A simple, intelligent system to organize ideas and drive your projects forward.

Review: Insightful - It was a good read and an enjoyable book. I found it insightful and informative with much to take away.
Review: Good, but check you are in the target audience for the book - This is a well-written, deeply-considered book, but check that you are among the target audience before buying it. It will most benefit academic researchers to compile raw material for publishing papers. Nonetheless, it describes the method you should use to build a Personal Knowledge Management system (the current fad in productivity) and why the system should benefit you based on psychology research. The book is more helpful in this regard than the countless YouTube videos focusing on computer tool configuration rather than the process. The book would have been better if the method had been illustrated with a real-world example using a knowledge domain that most readers would understand. Instead, the process is described in the abstract, and the value of linking notes together remains somewhat fuzzy. I felt I could have used more explicit guidance on developing a permanent note from a literature note, developing a permanent note and effectively linking all the permanent notes together. All that likely seems self-evident to the author who uses it every day, but not to me. Undoubtedly, the system’s inventor, Niklas Luhmann, was a prolific author who credited his success to the method. However, unless I missed it, further proof that the method is effective is absent from the book. Maybe I’m committing academic heresy by writing that. I finished the book feeling encouraged to try the method using the text as a safety rail, but I remained sceptical. Time will tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smart notes ( be aware they are very smart)
*by R***N on 3 April 2025*

A literature paradox, if the book instructed how to take the smart note in a shabby manner. Said note would not be smart, not dumb or thick, just not smart, then the book would be crap and probably ignite in permanent loops. Luckily this book is well presented and informative. And my smart note knowledge has never been better
