Stacked, Evergreen Notes

I was reading through notes.andymatuschak.org about note taking practices and evergreen notes.

Thought one: I have not heard of evergreen notes before. The concept behind evergreen notes is to write notes that evolve in order to facilitate thinking. Thought two: One of the notes I read on Andy’s site mentioned that ‘People generally develop skills to a plateau and then stop’.
