What Should Be Documented in Your Notes?

Determining what information deserves to be captured and preserved.

The focus is on developing intentional documentation practices that prioritize quality and future value over mindless record-keeping. The decision to document information should be guided by simple questions like : "Will I want to review this fact in the future?" or "Will I have probably forgotten it if I don't write it down?" or Does this information connect to my current interests or projects?

Resist the urge to document everything and anything simply for the sake of keeping records. Instead, focus on being deliberate and purposeful with each note you create.

What deserves documentation is deeply personal and varies based on your goals, interests, and current projects. Trust your judgment about what will be valuable to your future self.
