In today's era, humans receive a vast amount of low-quality fragmented information every day. How to identify useful information from it, efficiently record and remember this information? How to effectively manage one's own notes and knowledge? These are problems that many people urgently need to solve. Whether it is a workplace elite, an academic researcher, or a lifelong learner pursuing self-improvement, you may have encountered the following troubles in traditional note-taking software:
The number of notes keeps increasing, but the cost of organizing them is getting higher and higher, and finally one has to give up.
Although a lot of notes have been taken, no systematic knowledge structure has been formed in the mind, and one can't remember them when needed.
The root cause of these problems is that traditional note-taking software usually adopts a folder structure with layers of folding, storing knowledge isolatedly in each independent folder, ignoring the connection and integration between knowledge. Essentially, they still exist in a chaotic and disorderly manner in the brain, and as the recorded content increases, this disorder will intensify. Eventually, the notes become an "information graveyard", not only unable to be quickly retrieved from memory when needed, but also difficult to search and manage, and collecting more information is useless.
Taking notes is not a passive process of receiving and storing, but an active process of thinking and constructing a knowledge system.
Refining, summarizing, and integrating the information learned into the existing knowledge structure, continuously making it grow and improve, and ultimately enhancing one's ability to solve problems is the meaning of taking notes. So which "folder" a note is stored in is not important at all. The relationship between this note and other notes, or rather the connection between knowledge and knowledge, is the most important.
"Bleaf" reorganizes all notes based on the pyramid principle, enabling fragmented information to form a clear and orderly knowledge structure. The graphical expression makes your knowledge system clear at a glance. You can easily locate the target document by zooming and dragging, and double-click to view the details, without having to rummage through layers of nested folders. If you think the position of a document card is inappropriate, you can directly drag it to a new position, or create a new document card at a certain position in the knowledge tree to improve your knowledge system at any time.
When taking a new note with "Bleaf", it is necessary to clarify its connection with the existing knowledge. This moderate thinking difficulty conforms to the necessary difficulty theory proposed by American psychologist Robert Bjork: "The easier the information is input, the more difficult it is to extract; on the contrary, the more effortful the information is input, the easier it is to extract", which can deepen the understanding of knowledge, help internalize knowledge and form long-term memory. In addition, the graphically processed notes are presented in both visual and language forms at the same time, which more conforms to the mechanism of dual coding of sensation and language in the human brain, not only making the memory more solid, but also being able to quickly wake up the memory when needed, output the knowledge systematically, and make the expression more confident.
"Bleaf" also supports creating multiple "knowledge trees". Each "tree" has its own field and theme. Users can manage and explore them in a personalized way according to their own needs, build and sort them in their own way, and let the knowledge expand and integrate in all directions. Each tree grows continuously, and new trees can also be added to the forest continuously.
The growth of a tree requires continuous pruning and cultivation to thrive. "Bleaf" is your exclusive gardener, always paying attention to the growth status of the "knowledge tree":
When a certain branch needs to be pruned, it will remind in time.
When it is found that the knowledge lacks nutrients, it will suggest supplementation.
When it sees the growth stagnating, it will point out a new direction.
By continuously tracking and analyzing the changes of the knowledge tree, it can not only help you discover the potential connections between knowledge, fill in the gaps and blanks in the knowledge system, but also plan the most suitable growth path for you based on your learning goals and interests.
