提问 HN：如何记笔记并从中学习？
3 分•作者: spacebuffer•9 个月前
我一直在尝试用 Obsidian 笔记软件做笔记，但不知道该怎么做。假设我是一个天文学新手，开始通过科普视频或短文章了解这个主题，每当我遇到新的知识点时，我都会这样记笔记：
```
天顶是夜空的中心，用于定向……等等
```
也许还会顺便添加几个指向其他笔记的链接。
随着我收集的信息越来越多，我的知识库和维基百科的本地副本有什么区别？当然，它不是逐字复制（我总是尽量用自己的话），但它会更好吗？
如果和维基百科类似不是问题，那么什么才算是学习呢？手头有一个维基百科的副本肯定不算学习。那么，我是每隔几天看看这些笔记就完事了，还是像参加大学课程一样参加考试？
这种情况也发生在我学习其他科目时，例如几周前，我想真正了解希腊神话，所以我拿起了斯蒂芬·弗莱的《神话》（顺便说一句，这是一本好书），但又一次，我不知道该如何做笔记。
我的直觉是，用简短的要点形式简要解释书中每个子故事的情节，并详细说明书中提到的不同神之间的关系。我想这总比不记笔记好，但我的书面关系指南真的比网上现有的几十个图表更好吗？
我过去知道如何为学校做笔记，因为我习惯了不同学科考试的结构，这要归功于我十多年的学生生涯，但当涉及到没有考试或任何衡量进步的实际方法时的自由学习时，我就不知道如何做笔记/学习了。

So I've been trying to actually take notes with obsidian and I can't figure out how. let's say I am a newcomer to astronomy and I begin to look into the topic through popscience videos or short articles, every time I come across a new thing to learn I make a note as such:<p><pre><code> The zenith is the center of the night sky and it is used for orienting.. so on and so forth
</code></pre>
Maybe even throw in a couple of links to other notes for good mesure.<p>As I assemble more and more info, what differentiates my vault from a local-copy of wikipedia? I mean sure it's not a word for word copy ( I always try to use my own words as much as possible) but is it any better?<p>And if being similar to wikipedia isn't a problem, then what constitutes as learning? having a copy of wikipedia on-hand definitely is not learning. so do I take a look at these notes every couple of days and call it a day, or take a test on the subject as if it was a college course?<p>This happens for me with other subjects too, for example a couple of weeks ago I wanted to get really knowledgable about greek mythology so I picked up mythos by Stephan Fry (great book btw) and again I was unsure about how to take notes on it.<p>my intuition said to briefly explain in the form of short bullet points the plot point of each sub story in the book as well as detailing the relationships between different gods mentioned in the book. I guess that's better that not taking notes at all, but is my written relationship guide really better then the 10s of graphical ones available online?<p>I used to know how to take notes for school because I got used to the structure of exams in different subjects thanks to the decade+ being a student but when it comes to free-form learning where there isn't a test or any tangible way to mesure progress I lose sight of how to take notes/learn
