# [[Linking Your Thinking 14]] Course by [[Nick Milo]]. ## Summary > [!abstract] Summary > Contents ## Sessions - [[2024-09-16 Onboarding]] - [[2024-09-17 Super session 1]] ## Map of Content ~ [[Home]] > [!NOTE]- Instructions > This note is starting out as a basic map of content where you gather and "collect" relevant information, ideas, thoughts, and links. > > **Note Paradigm # 3**: _Notes can change!_ > > This is not a static index note. This is an active "mapping" note. Maps of content are spaces to both catalyze and synthesize your thoughts, in a natural and organic way. > > Your assignment is to continually update this note throughout the workshop. You will be adding new ideas, relating these ideas, and generally consolidating the knowledge within to gain a deeper understanding of the topics that matter to you. > [!Hint]- LYT Workshop - Forum Links > - [LYT Castle 🏰](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/castle-14/): Go here to onboard and orient. > - [LYT Introductions](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/introductions-14/): Amazing energy here. > - [LYT Workshop Calendar](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/workshop-calendar-14/?sort=asc): Upcoming and past events. > - [LYT Workshop Events & Recordings](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/workshop-events-recordings-14/): A portal to the events & recordings. > - [LYT Great Hall](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/great-hall-14/): A space for PKM discussion and connecting with others > - [LYT Tool Shed](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/tool-shed-14/): A space for tool-based discussions. > - [LYT Pub](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/pub-14/): A space for fast, casual conversation. > - [LYT Feedback](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/feedback-14/): Exclusive space for feedback submissions. - [[Architects & Gardeners]]: Complimentary thinking styles needed for any effort.

It is writing on steroids. But really, it is a thinking practice disguised as a writing practice. - Apparently, note-makers are people who spend their thinking time in an active, engaged way—making sense of the stuff they encounter. - [[Note-making is about making insights in minutes that last a lifetime]] - [[Note-making preserves a fleeting thought]] [[Notetaking]]: A passive form of using notes that involves copying, clipping, and collecting without generating any personal thoughts. More closely resembles stenography, than writing or thinking. - How can I still do this but drastically reduce how much I do? [[Idea Emergence]]: It’s the process of how ideas grow in richness, complexity, and meaning over time. It helps illuminate the odd, counterintuitive mechanisms behind how ideas survive, spread, and evolve. There is more than a hint of the Darwinian “struggle for existence” here. Not only does Idea Emergence give us a framework to understand how ideas interact and emerge into more than the sum of their parts—we can leverage this framework to reliably make the most of our minds and generate our proudest and meaningful work. - One of the biggest concepts of LYT. How ideas grow. The invisible rules governing ideas. - [[Mental Squeeze Point]]: These are what MOC's help us overcome - [[MOCs (defn)|MOCs]]: "Maps of Content". - Spaces to _gather, develop, & navigate ideas_. - How are MOCs similar/different to "indexes"? - They are active notes where you can do the majority of your sensemaking efforts. ## Frameworks - ACE: A unified way to organize knowledge with folders and links. - [[ARC]]: A framework to show the flow of your ideas across time and space. [[Ideaverse]]: Technically, an ideaverse is a person’s linked digital notes. We might say it’s all your notes, connected. While that sounds boring, it is actually the opposite. It is an organic, evolving mass of thoughts a person interfaces with throughout their life. It is a mechanism for sensemaking. Not only is it a tool to improve learning, comprension, and memory; but it compels, catalyzes, and draws out both new and mature thoughts from the person interacting with it—leading to some of their best, greatest, proudest, and most meaningful work. - Your notes, connected. More broadly, the total of one's mental landscape. ## Exercises > [!MAP]- Audit Your ideaverse > ![[LYT-Audit-Your-Ideaverse-Exercise-1.png]] > [!MAP]- Make Your Map > [!MAP]- Develop Your Thing > [!MAP]- Apply Your Notes > ## The LYT Core Curriculum - [Unit 1 — Enter the age of the linked note](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-1/) - 1a - The Recent History And Landscape Of PKM - 1b - Idea Emergence  - 1c - Making Relationships Between Notes  - 1d - Understanding Your PKM Personality  - [Unit 2 — Growing Value](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-2/) - 2a - Time value of ideas - 2b - How notes stay alive - 2c - Sail the seven C's of notemaking - 2d - Fluid thinking - [Unit 3 — Accelerating Ideas](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-3/) - За - Next level thinking - 3b - The many moves of the mapmaker - 3c - Various uses of MOCs - 3d - MOCs develop fluid thinking - [Unit 4 — Your Custom PKM System](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-4/) - 4a - Map your way home - 4b - Complete the idea emergence network - 4c - Build your custom PKM system - 4d - Fly around your planet - [Unit 5 — Processing Newness](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-5/) - 5a - A world of ideas - 5b - Gather and plant ideas - 5c - Audit how you gather and plant ideas - [Unit 6 — Sensemaking & Sharing](https://community.linkingyourthinking.com/c/curriculum-unit-6/) - 6a - Working in your system - 6b - Sharing your stuff
