synthesizing information leads to deeper understanding and the creation of new ideas
There was some hierarchy I learned about in 9th grade. It was something to do with essay-writing. At the bottom of this hierarchy was summary. At the top was synthesis. Right below synthesis was analysis.
This index digital garden project is all about synthesis. It is about repeating ideas: use spaced repetition for learning and retaining information. Creating notes is about thinking more deeply and about developing insight
200 Sources are my notes. A cross between summary and analysis. They are interpreted and developed into 100 Garden Path notes.
