Note down your source for your future self when reading and otherwise consuming

Reading time: 1 min

I recently went to check on a note in my notes system related to a thought I had.

I wanted to expand on the note and read more on the topic.

But couldn't find the source of what I wrote, nor find it via search engines. Brilliant.

This demonstrates the importance of noting down your source. Do things for your future self.

Should also note down other contextual things for your future self: where did you leave off? How should you continue in the future?

Your future self will forget what your past self was thinking. Note down directions to avoid this. Make it easy for your future self.
