- Literature notes should be brief, atomic, and not contain quotes
- The video also illustrates that literature notes should contain page numbers,
  like so:
    #+begin_src org
    - p. 19
      - some note that occurs on page 19
    #+end_src
  - This may be difficult if reading from an e-reader, where pages are relative!
- if taking notes on an e-reader, review your highlights or in-app notes and
  translate them into roam notes later
- permanent notes should come /directly/ from literature notes
  - in the video he highlights "journaling is the easiest way of getting
    feedback" and turns it into a note unto itself
- tags and keywords should be framed as "how do I want to find / use this
  information?"
- permanent notes should be fully formed
- permanent notes should also contain keywords, references, etc.
