@greg @webology Yep, Obsidian for now. But I've used or played around with many other tools [but not yet emacs and org-mode 😬].
I need to get better about dating the file *and* the sections in it 😅
I guess what i'm really looking for is a way to visually delineate in navigation those notes that I deem less relevant to the current state of a project/idea/topic, but still useful for historical/contextual reasons.
Lots of suggestions for an archive folder, but I don't want to *move* the files.
@webology @greg I'm all over the place. I have all of the following types of notes & more:
- One-line ideas for projects, jokes, or questions
- Lists of gift ideas, 'favorites', & other details about friends/family that probably belong in a Personal CRM tool
- Meeting notes
- Notes/snippets for working with a tool (like black, or venv)
- Detailed notes about bigger technical topics e.g. the DevOps process for my business
- Rolling notes about projects
- Outlines for talks
- Research notes
- etc
@webology @greg For your enjoyment - some of my one-line notes/ideas:
- Crossword puzzle where provided words are positive traits, but negative traits are hidden in the puzzle.
- Physical tool for pinpointing landmarks & points of interest on a map that I observe from an aircraft.
- Python package whose sole purpose is to wrap python modules & commands in more dramatic words.
- Start a new Twitter handle called 'weekly heartbreak'. Each week, post a song that is heartbreaking.
- Am I a judge-y b****? If so, why?
- 'Ubermocked': A tool for automatically mocking your database or API, but the output is actually mocking in the sense of "making fun of".
- Waitress said "that looks delicious" as she handed me dinner. Is this to 'sell' me on the food, or was she really admiring my dinner?
- Alien warfare short story. They blast a huge rock in Earth orbit to prevent our species from leaving the planet.
@webology @greg I am not familiar with this obscure concept of "done" 😂😅😬
I've tried mind-mapping at various points, but it doesn't fit my brain. Not at all. Mind maps *seem* like a good idea, but I've never successfully finished making one, and I've never found someone else's mind map helpful to understand anything.
I'm much happier with outlining/sectioning, and adding an appropriate type of diagram/chart if it's helpful to visualize an idea or process (usually using mermaid or drawio).
@greg @jack I am glad that people like them but I am totally lost when I see them.
I like dataview and I was playing with one of the todo plugins last week and I was tempted to overthink it but I naturally have 1000s of todos because of how I arrange research and projects. So it was too much to grok.
