Evergreen

#categories #inbox

An evergreen note is an idea. It doesn't have to be something that I agree with, but something is composable. In a way, every idiom is a kind of evergreen idea.

This TLDR is you focus on writing atomic, declarative notes in your own words. The titles of these "Evergreen" or "Zettel" notes are statements; things you believe based on what you've read and experienced in the world. Things like "Naming is the hardest part of programming", or "Fitness culture has replaced religion in modern society". You follow this up with a paragraph or two explaining the statement and any literary references that led you to that belief.
