- [[{4.1a} atomic notes]] are meant to hold a single self-contained thought. but how do you draw that line? how do you know if atomicity is the right format for this particular idea? how “big” can an atomic note be? - doesn’t matter. [[{4.1b2b2} no one is going to check your work]]. - atomicity in this context isn’t about making separate notes for literally every bullet point in a train of thought, but for each idea that is meaningful enough to you that it warrants returning to on its own. - there is no clear boundary for “when” that is. figuring out your personal threshold is part of the pkm development process.
