You will end up creating many literature notes from a single fleeting note.

It is important that a literature note follows these simple rules:

  1. It is a single idea

  2. It can be understood in isolation

  3. It represents your own understanding, not a paraphrase of someone else’s words (with the exception of quotes)

Remember, the permanent notes are moving the literature note from the context of a single source material (e.g. a book) to your whole collection of knowledge (from all books, articles, etc).
