I am a Librarian Notetaker
LinkedIn Post
I’m a Librarian type of notetaker, You?
→ and I pick the best from all 4 types
Anne-Laure Le Cunff classified four archetypes for taking notes.
The 4 types described briefly (detailed Link in the comments)
———
Librarian ⇢ Organizes for easy information retrieval.
Gardener ⇢ Cultivates ideas and connections.
Student ⇢ Simple tools for focused learning.
Architect ⇢ Builds structured note systems.
Currently, the Librarian is most me.
As a Librarian, I
→ Have a practical relationship to info.
→ Save useful, interesting knowledge.
→ Capture varied, eclectic sources.
→ Organize for specific purposes.
→ Curate a knowledge collection.
→ Do Project-oriented research.
→ Use a Hierarchical system.
→ Serve future self’s needs.
→ Avoid content overload.
And sometimes I’m more of a Gardener
→ imagining
→ dreaming
→ wandering
making spontaneous creative connections.
I’m less of an architect nowadays.
This was different when I started.
Back then:
→ I wanted a tight structure for my notes
→ with a clear hierarchy
→ everything in place
I spent too much time of organizing my notes.
But too little time with actually applying it.
Once I found my system, I relaxed and now I’m a balanced Librarian.
Why does your archetype matter?
→ It helps to find your note-taking app
→ It guides how to tune your workflow
Knowing about all 4, also shows me what to integrate next.
What is your preferred archetype?
(Architect or Gardener or Librarian or Student)
