A note is difficult to reuse if it needs its implied context to be understood. An implicit context is created by assigning categories, tags or keywords and can change after the note has been created. If the meaning of a note depends on its current implicit context, the author cannot use the note alone, but would also have to record the current context.
Context-independent understandable notes
Edit
Enter a note in such a way that it is understandable in itself and that the information it contains depends at most on the explicit links and not on an implicit context.
Possibly related Notes
For this purpose the author describes in the summary WHAT the thought means for the user or a discussed topic.
In ThoughtTank, inbox sources give users an overview of places where they might have collected new ideas in the past. You should integrate these into your Zettelkasten.
ThoughtTank analyses your notes and gives concrete advice on how you can further develop or improve your notes in the next step.
Transformation of implicit into explicit relationships between notes generate knowledge
By identifying related notes that are not explicitly linked, ThoughtTank encourages you to explicitly link these notes. Making relationships explicit generates new knowledge.
Importance of a note is proportional to the number of notes that reference it
Link a new note from existing notes when creating it.
Links are only unambiguous if each note contains exactly one idea or thought (atomacity).
