Prefer declarative titles, where applicable to the note’s purpose

  • For developed notes/concepts, we should add value judgement to the note’s phrasing
  • note/section titles like these may be appropriate for early note maturity, but the title should be developed with the content’s maturity
    • “Declarative titles”
    • “Pros of declarative titles”
    • “Titles can be declared”
    • “Places where declarative titles work best”
  • this doesn’t apply to all notes, surely not like Category notes or Concept noun notes
  • declarative titles flow and read better in prose
  • declarative titles are actionable, rather than passive
