Lead paragraph

Most people treat note-taking as a filing system. The ones who get the most from it treat it as a thinking system — a place where ideas collide, combine, and become something new.

Body paragraph

The difference shows up over time. A filing system gives you back exactly what you put in. A thinking system gives you connections you didn't know were there — links between books read years apart, between problems in different domains, between a question you had at twenty and an answer you found at thirty-five.
