I wonder if you could answer a quick question to help me avoid running down a rabbit hole. It overlaps with mine more than 90%, and I still learned a few tricks from this and your other posts. Thanks for such a splendid description of your workflow. In the aspect of knowledge production, based on my own experience, I find that using the link function of marginote to create a local concept-map instead of mind-map can help us to simulate the flow process of thinking to the greatest extent, so as to discover knowledge through a unique perspective, rather than being limited to the category of notes arrangement. I think mind-map can only help us to establish an understanding of the internal information structure of materials in the process of academic research, but it can not really help us to preserve our own perspective of problems and produce our own knowledge. I have some simple thinking in this respect. Hello JKF ! I’m trying to make a short animation about my understanding of note organization and knowledge production from the perspective of academic research. I’m studying humanities with a focus on philosophy, so understanding concepts and linking ideas is more important than building a hierarchy of hard facts that can be excerpted straight from the document, which I think is where I fall down a bit. I’ve still got a huge amount of thinking to do on the method, so this will change, I’m sure.īut I’m happy to report that my day in the library today was one of my most productive for a long time, even though I was grappling with a topic that’s new and confusing. (possibly) using Tinderbox to ‘map’ imported zettels into visual representations of the specific question in seeming to answer.

(maybe) exporting highlights and notes to pdf to file alongside document.(Still a lot of work to do on refining my reading technique - so lots of opportunity for improvement here).(where necessary) share to MarginNote for detailed analytical reading, identifying concepts and creating proper notes rather than just highlights.initial read in DEVONthink to get a feel for the relevance and usefulness of the paper / chapter.So I think my workflow at the moment is something like: I’m wary of making things too involved too soon, though, so I’m just leaving that (the overall use of Tinderbox) as a possibility for the future. I experimented today with creating Zettels with a simple markdown / text editor on iOS and importing into Tinderbox and there’s a lot of promise in this, although it would be even more promising if I could somehow automatically replicate the links in Tinderbox. But I was also balancing it with the fact that currently 80% of my study time is iOS and at least some of that 80% is iOS by necessity as I’m in situations where I can’t practically take my MacBook (eg, studying during work lunchtimes or on my commute). That’s a very good point - I’m a massive visual thinker.
