This is a method for note taking developed by Niklas Luhmann. There are several principles under which the method derives it’s workflow:

  • Your notes should be atomic: This means topics should be placed into a single note, but the scope of the topic should be small. This makes it easier to link and categorize throughout your notes.
  • Your notes (or collection of notes) should be interconnected: This means you should continually make connections with notes previously written and place new notes into this structure.
