# Collector OR Connector #collection The overall question posed by [[Curtis McHale]] here is "[[Why Take Notes]]?" and the motivation behind taking notes is important. > "Why bother taking notes if all you're doing is collecting them." I think they're two sides of the same coin: [[Collector AND Connector]] - The [[Idea-Collector]] mostly collects and is happy with that. - The [[Idea-Connector]], the way he puts it, actually produces output shared with others.
