As a part of [[How to Take Smart Notes]]
---
These notes are merely reminders, and don’t contain much context. These are meant to help you rediscover a topic that you found interesting so that you can expound upon it later. These have a shelf life of a couple days at most, because we naturally forget about a topic once we’ve discovered it unless we’ve committed it to working memory. These notes can be intentionally discarded once they’ve been transformed into something more meaningful, like a [[Permanent Note]].
It seems that these things flow in the following way:
```mermaid
flowchart TD;
FleetingNote --> PermanentNote
FleetingNote --> ProjectNote
```
These types of notes are bad to have for long periods of time without migrating them into a [[Permanent Note]] because they cause clutter and don’t attach well to other things. This causes you to restart.
