A classic worth rereading: Andy Matuschak's "Evergreen notes"

A short, much-linked page framing notes as things that evolve and accumulate across projects, with five principles: atomic, concept-oriented, densely linked, associative rather than hierarchical, and written for yourself. The central line is that "better note-taking" misses the point; what matters is "better thinking".

Where I'm less sure: it's a hub page, so the substance lives in the linked notes, and it's undated. "Write for yourself" can also sit awkwardly with sharing notes in a community like this one.

Question: Which of the five principles do you actually keep, and which have you quietly dropped?
