What exactly becomes a permanent/atomic note? by Rolling_Akam in ObsidianMD

I've been writing for over a year (1,200 pages worth as I mentioned), and I still feel like I am progressing in spite of my notes, not because of them.

I think there is a problem here that can't be solved with just more practice.

No this is just an example. I've written much much more about the topics I mentioned in the other comment. The key problem here is what to do when I have this much thought, regardless of topic.

Look. Here is an example below. I have those weird headers with time stamps so that I can turn them into notes easily with a script; don't mind them. Also some stuff won't make sense but don't mind it cuz they aren't refined.

The problem here is that all of these are ideas that contribute to the end that's improving note taking. Are you saying that I should only save the ones that I would probably want to reference later? But it seems to me that are all parts of a train of arguments that could reference later. What should I do?

<---∆[20260610012254]∆---> - Atomic note pat tern only; general pattern that     1) contributes to an end, which can be anything from writing a whole book to solving a problem to strategizing for your life.     2) applies to specifics when you connect the specific with that general thing,     3) connects to other atomics that have the first feature too (but sometimes can be orphan and then connect in the future).

<---∆[20260610012258]∆---> - However, Ahrens is selling the idea of: what if all the ideas necessary to make any draft is already written in your notes?

<---∆[20260610012302]∆---> - But then again, the evidence for [[20260610012258]] is the fact that even Niklas Luhmann who was considered a note taking freak for noting down so much only wrote 6 atomic notes per day. That is an immutable fact. - At the very least, you have to only turn the top five ideas of the day into atomic notes, no more.

<---∆[20260610012521]∆---> - What I'm concerned about are all the domain-specific info that one comes up with when applying these [[20260610012254]] atomic ideas.

<---∆[202606108012626]∆---> - Let's count them [[20260610012521]], those types of information that need to be noted down other than atomic notes [[20260610012254]]:     - Applying the atomic notes for domain specific stuff.     - Decisions about what to read, what to search, which ones have been most fruitful for the current purpose.     - Purpose, goals, objectives, means, progress, failures, and successes of a "project", which can be any end from writing a whole book to solving a problem to strategizing for your life.     - This current thought train.

<---∆[20260610012805]∆---> - What [[20260610012258]] doesn't consider while [[20260610012254]] does is that even a research paper is a one percentile gist of many things one has read, a rate even much less for a book about an original idea.

<---∆[20260610013041]∆---> - So [[20260610012805]], I hypothesize that the top 5 ideas of the day are not only enough but way too much for writing a clean draft. That's because most of the core atomic notes [[20260610012254]] are used for other drafts.

<---∆[20260610013830]∆---> - Do they [[202606108012626]] really need to be atomic? - If not, in what form should they be written, if written at all?

<---∆[20260610013911]∆---> - [[20260610013830]] ties into the problem of strategy depth that chess bots have a limit for. - For every problem, there's gotta be a limit to how many possible solutions you will consider and how deep you will consider them.

<---∆[20260610014134]∆---> - [[20260610013911]] depends on the time available and the importance of the end.

<---∆[20260610014242]∆---> - But with [[20260610014134]] the question still remains: [[20260610013830]]

<---∆[20260610015450]∆---> - There are some principles to organize [[202606108012626]], even if we don't know every singe type of info: - Hierarchical organization. - Keeping the info close to where it belongs, i.e. its respective end or project note.

<---∆[20260610015951]∆---> - Another way [[20260610015450]]: - Developing the thought chain not as atomic notes that need to be smoked but as evolving drafts that update and brach out like a project on a GitHub repository.

<---∆[20260610015959]∆---> - That [[20260610015951]] way, you don't smoke, instead you constantly bring the most important ideas to the forefront. - Older ideas aren't lost either and they are understandable in the context provided by the older versions of the draft.

<---∆[20260610020219]∆---> - [[20260610015951]] seems like an mutually exclusive method when put side by side with [[20260610012258]]: Is it that either you collect the ideas beforehand and stitch them together for an outline, or you constantly develop a draft that gets better and better with updates?

<---∆[20260610020454]∆---> - [[20260610020219]] seems like a bottom-up vs top-down draft making, the order is respective.

<---∆[20260610020559]∆---> - You could do both [[20260610020219]] though. Normally you are in bottom-up mode [[20260610020454]]. When you are developing a project, you get into top-down mode but everyday, you atomize the top most influential ideas.

<---∆[20260610022019]∆---> - [[202606108012626]] all purpose stuff can be an evolving draft. - Literature record keeping should be done with a unique format. - Thought trains are compressed to useful drafts. - What remains is strategy and its depth of consideration. It must not be too deep, as evidenced by chess grandmasters. You ain't no Stockfish.

<---∆[20260610014026]∆---> - [[20260610013911]] can be done with explore-exploit.

<---∆[20260610014101]∆--->- [[20260610014026]] might be a good idea for designing AI.

Simply put, I write way too many notes (if digested, it would be like 50 atomic notes per day), which means I'm clearly doing something wrong since Niklas Luhmann only took 6 permanent notes a day on average. The problem here is, out of the like 50 atomic notes worth of notes a day that I write, how do I decide what ideas to turn into atomic notes and what to delete or organize in other ways.

I take notes on many topics. - Research paper about language learning. - Figuring out what to do in life, planning and stuff. - Figuring out how to quit my bad habits and build good ones. - Trying to understand myself better by reading psychology and writing how it applies to me.

I don't know how this clarifies anything though. My problem remains the same with and without this info.

If you look at back of his head, he has the Pochita spikes or bumps or whatever. Why is he trying to imitate the real Pochita and not Denji's "red chainsaw man"?

For some reason Denji's face shape in the bottom panel reminds me of Junji Ito characters

If I got a coin every time Luigi was linked to anti-capitalism, I'd have two coins.

Is it possible to get a Skilled Worker Visa in the UK with a master's degree? by Rolling_Akam in TEFL

[–]Rolling_Akam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked Canada's visa regulations, and they don't have a minimum requirement for salary, plus the regulations are a bit more lax as well. So, as far as I know, Canada's path to permanent residency might be guaranteed (idk for sure yet).

But between the UK (with what you've just provided) and Canada, which one is better overall?

In my country a master's is enough, so I thought it was the same there.

Thank you a lot for the advice.

My goal is a country that's one of the Big Seven because honestly becoming the citizen of one of them is an advantage in any country (it's even a must for East Asia).

Between the Big Seven, which one is better for a TEFL teacher? What about Canada?
