@WoeToChorazin Hi Keanu! We're thrilled to support your dissertation. We're constantly improving the platform, so keep the feedback coming. Thanks so much! 🙏

Summaries make ideas hard to find

Try saving each idea in it's own note

[Protolyst @protolyst]

You don't think in Documents & Folders, you think at a finer level

facts
ideas
quotes

So why are we all still using Documents & Folders?

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Synthesis > Summarisation

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Knowledge mastery is an expert grasp and deep understanding of a topic

It's not
- fact recall,
- memorisation
- summarisation,

it's how all these ideas, facts and concepts assemble together

Your brilliant ideas sparked while reading
Are lost as soon as you close the page

Get them out of the page!

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Projects are interdisciplinary
Information is needed in multiple places

But Folders and Files make that hard

You need a system that allows you to organise your information everywhere it's needed

[Protolyst @protolyst]

To spot new ideas, you need to work with a lot of ideas

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Content is a series of connected ideas,
Some of those ideas are interesting to you

So try saving JUST those ideas
Not the entire piece with ALL the ideas

[Protolyst @protolyst]

if ideas are the building blocks of your opinions, understanding and decisions

Why are you still working with long documents?

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Help your writing when you're reading

Note down ideas
Extract valuable information
Connect the knowledge to your project

When it's time to write, you'll have a collection of information ready to add to your page

Embrace your inner child and play the 'why?' game to level up your learning

If a statement stands out to you, ask 'why?'
Make note of it

You're starting to connect and absorb the material

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Documents contain a lot of ideas
But you can only navigate them up and down

Tables let you cluster related ideas together

Swap between Docs and Tables in a few clicks

[Protolyst @protolyst]

You won't remember just by saving information
Annotate and add your thoughts
Build a connection to what you're saving

[Protolyst @protolyst]

Ideas and knowledge accrue over time
Springing up inside different projects

But keeping related ones together is a challenge when they're all saved in different places!
