For some students, it can be a real struggle. Part of the challenge is getting the most from lectures. So that gave me the idea that’s something I’m going to specialize in, because none of the people currently writing about Stoicism are neurodiverse, so perhaps, they don’t feel like that’s something can write about, because it is not their personal experience.Getting through college isn’t easy. Instead he focuses primarily on the negative emotions that are all too frequent when you’re neurodiverse, like being quick to anger, anxiety, and depression. Donald Robertson–a cognitive behavioral therapist doesn’t touch it at all other than saying you should get a diagnosis. Ryan Holiday doesn’t cover it, and William Irvine mentions the limits of Stoicism on his website. There’s a great article by Sophia on employing the dichotomy of control to neurodiversity and practicing Stoicism helped with ADHD. There’s an article by Anna Joy Tanksley on practicing Stoicism as an Aspergian. Sure, I had a general idea, but not the hard evidence of what it is that I notice and read about, and therefore come up with things that no one is writing about.įor example, writing about practicing Stoicism when you’re neurodiverse is something that is barely written about. This is not something I had before the summer.
When I look at the weekly newsletters I write that include my reference notes, notes I take on books, and references to other articles I get a picture of what I write about and how that interests me. I wrote 137 notes over the course of the summer, that’s roughly two notes a day all summer, and I came up with one essay idea, and one short story idea. Let’s say this summer, so I’ll use the 2021/summer tag and get a bird’s eye view of every note that I put in throughout a season. For example, I’ll tag everything that I wrote over a season. I’ve found that paraphrasing what I read, looking it over, is enough. But that’s not really been the case for me yet. I know the magic of this method is when a bunch of unrelated permanent notes reaches a critical mass that’s when you have new connections to make. I tag it with a specific theme, the author, or a concept connected to it. So the method I worked around concerning literature notes with Kindle is using notecards to write out the particular things I highlighted or noticed, then that goes into Bear. Kindle’s highlighting and note feature is about as good as that device is ever going to get and I don’t care for it. Really what this process solved for me is what I do with books or articles I read online or on Kindle.
I write a summary or review in the back of the book about what I learned or what I noticed that attracted my eye. When I finish a book, I’ll collect all the pages that I fold over. They are notes that I take in physical books in the form of marginalia, and that usually goes to Instagram once a week. Literature Notes: These are the ones that I use the most.I sometimes post these on Twitter about once a week. It’s just filled with questions, observations, and things I notice. I use my pocket notebook for these since I carry it around in my wallet. Fleeting notes: where I take notes on the fly that are informal, short, and quick.There are four kinds of notes, according to Ahrens: So to give you a summary of what I do, I’m going to explain the basics of my note-taking habit and how I marry that to this method. I use it through the Bear notes application and work through the process in my journals and pocket notebooks. I realized that I already cobbled this method together.

It seemed like it was more trouble than I wanted to engage in.Īfter reading this post, How to Take Smart Notes: 10 principles to revolutionize your note-taking and writing, I saw this as a system that filled in some of the blanks in stuff I was already doing.īut after hearing more about it through Austin Kleon, talking about reading Sonke Ahrens’s book, How to Take Smart Notes, I started reading it on Kindle.
