Now for "how does this look in Roam"...

Emerging ideas to follow.

My goal is to MINIMIZE RESISTANCE to MAXIMIZE FLOW.

I want to capture ALL resonant ideas, and to move things up the maturity progression as quickly as my clarity allows.

Common inputs for "literature" notes/questions:

Podcasts: @AirrAudio
Articles: @worldbrain
Twitter: @readwiseio
Books: @AmazonKindle

All sent to @RoamResearch in a standardized template using the @readwiseio integration *chef's kiss*

I make the literature (summary) notes AS I'M READING/LISTENING.

These appear as a note nested under the highlight in Roam.

Then, to make it a bit nicer, I flip it.

Rather than the literature note nested under the highlight, I nest the highlight under the literature note (as a block ref)

I can then try to *generalize* the literature note, creating a permanent note. As demonstrated here.

Note: I added a hashtag on the literature note to promote more effective resurfacing (was absent in the last image)

Next, I would populate the page for the permanent note. (Using a SmartBlock to make the template)

- Add references (what inspired or led to the idea)
- Make connections(as I built this, I retired "relevant notes", replacing with a more general "related")
- Add notes

tbh I didn't have this figured out when I started this thread. BUT I LIKE IT.

This is feeling good!!

Of interest, here's the simple SmartBlock I made to standardize the template.
