@idlip Looking forward to reading this! The blog is very cool, I love how it surfaces forward and backlinks, as well as rendering the salient content!
BTW, #obtf would be an excellent topic for a submission to this month's carnival! I think most people don't use this kind of thing! Almost everyone is in org or markdown

I'd say the only web page that really clicked on #knowledgegraph view for me was:
IMO I feel this is how notes (#pkm) should connect and be shown on web page for #digitalgarden
Still I simply use #obtf myself (https://obtf.ru/en/)

Как я перепробовал уйму приложений для заметок за 20 лет и вернулся к обычному .txt файлу (OBTF)
Я перепробовал Notion, Todoist, Evernote и много чего еще. Все они навязывали мне свой способ думать и организовывать информацию. Обычный текстовый файл — нет. В статье я расскажу почему один .txt и ctrl/cmd + F в моем мире победил коммерческие (и не только) тудушницы и заметко-хранилища. README.txt

These are my shortcuts to the Obsidian files that organise my daily life. Projects, to do list, calendar, OBTF (now called 1-N, or one note), plain text planner. Labels are in Shavian.
This folder sits in my dock.
And that is why we have the internet! The chances of meeting anyone in my neighbourhood who thinks this is anything other than strange nerdish behaviour is practically nil.

After the best part of 2 years appending to my #OBTF, I've finally got my head around prepending. And I think it's my #PlainTextPlanner that's helped my neurons accept that this is a good move.
Working with the brain cell pathways, not trying to force them into what I'm told is the 'right' path, has taught me more about productivity than pretty much anything else.

Brainwave! I am renaming my One Big Text File. It’s no longer an #OBTF, it’s a One Note Inbox. #1N Much more descriptive of how I actually use it, and it fits in nicely with my One Page Notebook.

@saraschlijper 👋 Nice to hear the #OBTF works for your tasks as well! How do you structure them, and keep track of projects and deadlines?

@matcha06 Always append to my #OBTF these days.
Two reasons:
First, I keep the top of the file as a dashboard for important information and links. Things I am happy to see every day. Second, it feels more natural, especially if I'm writing a lot in one day; it's counterintuitive to write/read down, but add new entries above that.
Bank records prepend and I can read those just fine, so really it's just personal preference.

people using #OBTF for their lists do you append or prepend to the file?

I just discovered there’s a Reddit community for #OBTF. These people are hard core! And there aren’t too many of them, but enough to show that there’s a desire for simplifying out there coupled with a need to keep control of where and how data is stored.
It’s really good to know I’m not alone. #plainText

@pmidden I mainly use single big org file for most of my notes, paired with context based tagging.
such as, t@work, t@meeting, t@shop
t -> task
p -> project
l -> learnThis helps alot to narrow quickly with consult-org-heading, and org-ql-find.
Also i make use of
`#+select_tags:` which I export to temp org buffer (C-c C-e O O) to read certain tags just as individual files. -
#Journelly for #iOS can potentially support #markdown. I'm still gauging if there's enough Markdown interest (please boost for reach).
👉 Register your interest by emailing: journelly + markdown @ xenodium.com
The more requests I get, the sooner I'll get markdown out the door.

This week: PTPL 155 · When the Wonderland222 Met My Old Moleskine Cahier Layout.
Pros and cons of both of these analog calendar approaches. A curiosity-driven tiny experiment, with a reference to the OBTF of digital notemaking.
“…simple, rustic, and unpretentious, and the very essence of uncomplicated freedom I was — and am — drawn to.”

I love my Wonderland222 but I’ve just realised I can draw up a Moleskine Cahier as a weekly planner and I really really like the idea. No regrets buying the W222, but man, that cahier is calling!
6 months in one book, 2 books for a year. Plus another cahier for notes, #obtf style, and a wad of scrap paper for going crazy. All in the one A5 binder.
My plan is to try it out from June to December and see what happens. It’s a tiny experiment (thanks, Anne-Laure)!

Daily notes, or One Big Text File? It's not an either-or; you can have both! Here's the intriguing case for multiple unique notes per day.

Daily notes are notes you write on the days you feel like writing them. Whether your notes are in separate files or an #OBTF, the important thing is that you keep on writing and learning from them.

What’s the best tool for recording that thought you just had before it’s gone? The one that’s always with you. The one that lets you start writing within 3 seconds of picking it up. Bonus points for working offline.
Drafts works well for this, and it can quickly append text to my One Big Text File in #Obsidian, but my fav quick capture tool when out and about is the cheap little A7 notebook that’s always in my bag. #analog #OBTF #EDC #productivity

PTPL 131: Don't be dogmatic about the tools you use, but do insist on protecting your work. Dash-Plus works best on paper; letters work better when classifying daily notes in an OBTF (One Big Text File).

Writing daily notes in both digital and analog formats that are useful to your future self takes some doing. I'm experimenting with the Dash-Plus system in both my paper notebook and One Big Text File, and loving it!
Bullet Journal symbols aren't better or worse than Dash-Plus, but at this point I prefer the simplicity of the latter, where every note begins with the same symbol.
