![]() This is a tiny, but irrelevant if you don’t have a slipbox, little thing that was bothering me… Sometimes some small little niggling piece-of-sand-in-my-oyster gets resolved, and all is right in the world. (Ahrens has a lot of great stuff to say about that, and I’d argue she has The stuff to say about it.) My point here is that by taking notes into a system that is designed to help me think-not tell me how to think-it does in fact help me think and helps me learn and remember. I don’t know for sure (without looking) what’s on “4c2ko 1a” but lots of ideas related to knowledge systems popped into my mind.ĭon’t be distracted by my insane, paper-slips in physical-boxes system. That would be the slip for “ Kn Owledge systems”. “4c2ko” then must be a word with first-letter K, and first-vowel O, and it has to be related to Ahrens? …that’s easy. Just four characters, but I instantly recognized the “2” as a book reference, and Ahren’s book is “ HOw to take smart notes.” Several of the ideas from the book flashed through my mind. ![]() While doing that, my eyes flashed across two addresses already on Ahren’s line…įirst, “2ho1”. Your eyes may have glassed over, but that’s just another random moment in my using the slipbox-nothing particularly interesting there. (Because “4c1ae” overflowed to a second “4c1ae(2)” and then third slip “4c1ae(3)”.) Next to her name I added “4c2se1j”. As I was writing the post, which involved Sönke Ahrens, I flipped to her name in the slipbox to add this slip’s address to things related to her. I’ve discovered that my regular usage of the slipbox is randomly, (in the sense that I have no sense of what or when to expect to bump into an idea again,) reminding me of things.įor example, I had a slip, “4c2se1j” with an idea for a blog post on it. “Oh! I need that knowledge, I guess it is important.” It all apparently causes the brain to not allow the knowledge to expire and be lost. Part of the power of the spacing is that you don’t come to expect when a particular bit of information will be reviewed. ![]() (Randomly over the years I’ve even considered dumping everything I ever wanted to learn into such a system.) There are class structures and software packages which implement this. with the time between the reviews increasing. Once one learns something, it’s best to review it after a period of time, then a second review, third, etc. Spaced repetition comes up in discussions of optimal learning. ![]()
