# Embedding note titles into prose enables precise thought # Embedding note titles into prose enables precise thought The prose around a note title serves to embed the thought in a context.

The ability to embed note titles into prose is another reason to make note titles read as thoughts. [[Note titles that read as thoughts makes them more memorable, findable, and transmissible]]. The context provided by that prose is a reason why [[Prose-based evergreen notes enable better thinking]]. This note is a good example of [[Notes and statements should be bloody]]: the title was originally “*In Zettlekasten writing, the more you can fit note titles into prose, the more precise your thoughts are*” and I changed it to “*Embedding note titles into prose enables precise thought*” to make it more bloody. ### Related * [[Precise Language Enables Progress]] * [[More precise descriptions of technology could enable faster progress]] * [[A ‘related’ section can serve as kindling for an evergreen note]] * [[§Slipbox Systems]] <!-- #evergreen --> [Web URL for this note](http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Embedding+note+titles+into+prose+enables+precise+thought) [Comment on this note](http://via.hypothes.is/http://notes.benjaminreinhardt.com/Embedding+note+titles+into+prose+enables+precise+thought)
