this website and its future

  • my notes is going to be reworked so that it makes better use of active recall.
  • what does this mean? - notes will, instead of individual lesson notes, be structured in a way so it is all in one page. - why? - because then I donโ€™t have to nest a billion files together to one โ€œrootโ€ file, and makes navigation a lot easier. - however, this means sacrificing a lot of the branches of the tree graph, as all the lesson files make up a majority of the โ€œbranches.โ€ - but navigation is simply too complicated, and connecting orphan child to their parents is too much of a task to do. - i have no preview atm but the website will probably be archived somewhere. - notes will instead of simply a summary of what the teacher says, is going to incorporate questions. - it is up to the reader to find the answer to that question - or, if i feel generous and/or the answer is too complicated, iโ€™d put the answer in a toggle right under the question. - *i think the current plan is that I write questions in class, and during lesson breaks/end of day I write down the answers, but this requires more structure and a lot more discipline, which I donโ€™t know if I have in me. - why? - summary of notes is simply too inefficient for me to continue doing. i feel so braindead summarising what the teacher has said because i do not remember what she said afterwards. - if i write them in a question | answer format, then it is very easy to import it into a flashcard builder like anki. yeah thats it the current pages will move to a separate repo, and will be ARCHIVED. new rebuilding will start to occur.
