+our brains are better equipped to deal with shorter cycles of information as opposed to longer cycles of information. it's why [[doing things incrementally is more efficient]]

+## Intro Blurb
+I've talked a lot about how [[posts/zettelkasten-shouldnt-be-complicated-but-it-is|Zettelkasten is complicated]] but I've never dove deeper into exactly how I use Zettelkasten to take notes. In order to [[notes/lead by example|lead by example]], every week, I will read an article and take connected notes [[posts/simplest-way-to-use-zettelkasten-for-note-management|my way]]. Hopefully, this process can give you ideas about how to improve your Zettelkasten workflow. Also, feel free to suggest articles you want me to read next week.

+## My Notes
+**Article Link:** https://zettelkasten.de/posts/collectors-fallacy/
+
+- I collect things mainly because of [[notes/loss aversion|loss aversion]] I don't want to potentially lose some knowledge I find meaningful
+- merging content, information, ideas, and thoughts and processing it is what integrates knowledge into our brain [[notes/connecting ideas is powerful|connecting ideas is powerful]]
+- bookmarking is great for navigation when you want to revisit something but is NOT good for learning [[notes/photocopying items doesnt help with learning|photocopying items doesn't help with learning]]
+- I don't really get the reward like these doves. For me it's just an unnecessary step.
+- I don't think reading is pointless without note taking. It still helps us but the portion of information we absorb is a lot less.
+- first step to conquering [[notes/collectors fallacy|collectors fallacy]] is to realize that collecting notes does not increase knowledge
+- [[notes/brain is better with small cycles of info|brain is better with small cycles of info]]
