I tend to just write them. I use my notes as a space for thinking and exploring. Once a task is done, I kinda move on and forget about it.

There are times when I document things I need to find later, so I spend time making them discoverable.

Do you actually re-read your notes, or mostly just write them?

A note on defaults — they matter for tools you'll use for a decade.

TagSpaces is independent, no VC, no telemetry, no mandatory account. Open source under AGPL-3.0. Tags live in plain filenames or JSON sidecar files — portable, readable by anything, decades from now.

Why start automating your PKM with boring admin tasks rather than something more exciting?

Because trust has to be earned. My AI PKM framework starts at Stage 0 — safe, reversible, administrative tasks where AI can help without touching what matters.

Updating an index is perfect for this. New post exploring both the skill and the framework it belongs to: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/claude-code-skills-obsidian-vault-index/

Obsidian + AI: Build a Second Brain That Actually Thinks

Your notes are useless if you can't find them. Obsidian + AI plugins create a knowledge management system that surfaces connections you'd never find manually. Here's the complet...

Hot take: PARA is a great concept with a hierarchy problem. And for autistic and ADHD brains, that problem is not minor. It is the reason most people abandon their Notion setup entirely.

Episode 2 of the SuperBrain series covers why I replaced PARA and what I built instead: a system designed specifically for the way neurodivergent brains actually work.

When Claude analysed my Obsidian vault, it mapped disconnected note clusters — groups that don't connect to the rest.

My clusters: AI and tech (unsurprising), gaming, personal finance, health and pressure.

What surprised me: it didn't flag philosophy, which I'd have expected.

Has anyone else run an AI analysis of their PKM? What did it find about your knowledge clusters?

Obsidian ist für mich viel mehr als nur eine Notiz-App.

Ich nutze es als mein Second Brain:
Ideen festhalten, Gedanken verlinken, Texte vorbereiten und Wissen sauber sammeln.

Mit dem KI-Copilot wird das Ganze nochmal stärker.
Fragen an die eigenen Notizen, schneller schreiben, besser strukturieren — direkt auf Android.

Für mich echt eine brutal starke Kombi.

For capturing ideas, I generally use the reminder feature on my phone..

"Remind me to blah blah blah"

I have #Reminders synced to #Omnifocus.

But i do have a pen and paper next to me all day when i need to think something through before committing to it.

I find it hard to think on digital. I use digital more for documenting what i've already thought out.

I find striking how much of a hype there is around concepts like "second brain", "zettelkasten", "networked note-taking", "PARA method", "Johnny Decimal", etc., and around note-taking apps such as Roam Research, Notion, Obsidian, and so on. So I found fascinating Kevin Baker's May 2024 take on them as "sandboxes for infinite varieties of avoidant labor".

Here's the relevant excerpt, shared without further comment:

"Incapacitating" is exactly how I would describe my relationship to computers, especially since the start of the pandemic. "Friction" for me looks like uncertainty, partial knowledge, ambiguity, disorder, or anxiety. The ecosystem of note taking software and influencers that has emerged since 2020 offer a great example of what I am talking about. Writing is a task which forces one to confront ambiguity, uncertainty, and one’s own limits directly, so it’s not surprising that a coterie of avoidance entrepreneurs sprung up around it. The goal of note taking systems, almost without exception, is to provide a smooth, frictionless environment for making connections between disparate topics. As your “second brain” develops, the ability—and indeed the desire—to create a dense latticework of connections increases. The problem for me, at least, is that I don’t find the work of making connections to be difficult. If anything, my “first brain” tends to overproduce these kinds of thoughts.

What it does provide, however, is a sandbox for infinite varieties of “avoidant labor.” If your writing anxiety focuses, like mine frequently does, on the possibility of “accidental plagiarism,” well, you can tend to your “zettlekasten,” and ensure that everything you ever highlighted is properly cited and tagged. If you have a more generic form of writing anxiety, why not spend a few hours linking your notes? In both cases, you have an act adjacent to writing, which relieves some of the tension of not writing but actively avoids the task itself.

Aus meiner digitalen Rumpelkammer: Anytype Desktop v 0.54 Beta freigegeben

Es gibt mal wieder Neues von Anytype zu berichten, meiner digitalen Rumpelkammer, die zusammen mit Joplin die Basis für mein »zweites Gehirn« bildet. Dabei stellt Anytype wegen der Möglichkeit, die Seiten aufzuhübschen und auch (einzelne) Seiten für das Web zu exportieren, ein Zwischending zwischen einem digitalen Garten und einer digitalen Rumpelkammer dar. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2026022401_anytype_0_54_beta/ #Anytype #Zettelkasten #SecondBrain

#Teaching Learners for the Long Tail of Time

https://tedcurran.net/2026/01/teaching-learners-for-the-long-tail-of-time/

I've long believed a teacher’s goal is not only to implant knowledge into learners’ brains, but to help them develop their own digital #secondbrain - an enduring repository of their best #learning to build on and refer back to over time. This post describes some projects I've built with this philosophy in mind. #pkm #instructionaldesign #elearning

Feeling overwhelmed? Ex-Google X trio just raised $6M for TwinMind, an AI 'second brain' that *passively captures background audio* to give you on-the-go summaries. It's like a memory assistant, or a very persistent eavesdropper. Are we ready for this level of AI integration?

"When I first started using #PKM tools, I believed I was solving a problem of forgetting. Later, I believed I was solving a problem of integration. Eventually, I realized I had created a new problem: deferral. The more my system grew, the more I deferred the work of thought to some future self who would sort, tag, distill, and extract the gold.
That self never arrived."
@Daojoan

Many good points here. #Tana keeps helping me make good use of past notes (personal writing from the past), but it never felt as a #secondbrain.

Leute die nun verkünden, mit diesen Tools ( #Roam, #Obsidian usw.) sei kein #SecondBrain zu entwickeln, weil das Gehirn doch anders funktioniere; Leute, die diese Marketing Metapher wörtlich genommen haben, sind auch enttäuscht, wenn der Redbull-Dose keine Flügel wachsen...

I can totally relate to this 👣🌱👻

👉 "I don’t think I want a map of everything I’ve ever read. I want a mind free to read what it needs. I want memory that forgets gracefully. I want ideas that resurface not because I indexed them, but because they mattered." - @Daojoan

Obsidian changed the way I take notes - it's amazing.

It’s literally building a second brain.

No more scattered docs/notes. No more “Where did I write that down?”

Just clean, connected thinking - And a productivity system that actually scales with you.

You have to try it to really get it.

Eu estava a um tempo de olho no LogSeq, vendo videos, lendo artigos, mas ainda estava naquela fase de "será que eu entendi o suficiente pra começar a usar?"
Essa semana depois de uma reunião com meu diretor, em que eu tive que fazer diversas anotações e saí com vários ToDos, decidi "passar a limpo" minhas notas para o LogSeq.
Por hora usei ele por 3 dias, e tenho que admitir, é *INCRÍVEL*….

Per il 2025 userò come "recap" cartaceo un "weekly planner" che ho comprato online per pochi euro

#ruoccolive #strumenti #memoria #SecondBrain

I have a very specific use case for @logseq And it's been a blast using it. If I could synchronize it efficiently with my tablet. (I know technically you can, but it's not there yet) I'll use it for other purposes.

You search for other tools like that? There's Zettlr, NextCloud Note with Iotas or extended with OwnNote. NextCloud Collective is becoming quite good. And of course DokuWiki is a grand old favorite.
And you what's your favorite? #noteTaking #noteManagement #secondBrain #BrainDump

People who take notes AND write blogs:

Do you keep your blog posts separated from your note taking system? If not, how do you publish your notes as blog posts? If yes, why?

I’m looking to consolidate all my writings to one huge git repo, but want to publish some notes as posts

Better late on an #introduction than never. I’m no good at them.

40-year-old dude who still can’t believe he’s not in his early 30’s anymore. #CatDad. Doing #KnowledgeManagement for a #cybersecurity company, focusing on #KCS. Obsessed with #pkm / #secondbrain stuff; #Obsidian’s my jam. Missing #ttrpg time. Interested in starting #hydroponics.

I don’t post a lot: #Introverted #ADHD wallflower who’s alright at replying, shit at starting a conversation.

Well met.

Nich ganz #NeuHier im Fediverse (seit 2018) aber #NeuHier auf dieser Instanz.

Da ich aber noch nie wirklich eine Vorstellung von mir geschrieben habe, hole ich das jetzt mal nach.

Ich interessiere mich für allerlei Dinge. Unter anderem führe ich seit diesem Jahr ein #BuJo und versuche mein #SecondBrain nach den Methoden von #BASB in #Obsidian zu erstellen. Manchmal versinke ich auch in irgendwelchen Produktivitätsmethoden oder #GoodWork , da mir meine Arbeit doch recht viel Spaß macht 😅

Bin offen für allerlei Gespräche. Schreibt mir einfach!

Und danke @daniel für die doch sehr schöne #Calcke Instanz 👍

@thequirkybraincoach Interesting. I’ve been maintaining stable memory and organization of things outside my head for decades but didn’t know it had a name. When I describe what I’m inspired to write, especially for documentation, I refer to “getting it out of my head,” where it is prone to loss/misplacement and just adds noise to a noisy place. #ActuallyAutistic #AutisticAF #SecondBrain

While not entirely certain... i think I've stumbled across something important:

Most people do work using other peoples' applications which don't necessarily map 1:1 to their domain. In my case: I code, but also do a fair amount of product-manager style work. I want to be as productive in my job as when I'm pure coding.

'm making an editor (using #deno, #codemirror) which is super minimal, but is extensible through react components.

Imagine obsidian but open source. #basb #secondbrain

What apps do you use to take digital notes and connect interesting stuff?

My choice is now #notion https://www.notion.so .

My notes tend to be top down and highly structured. I love to embed photos and drawings. And with Notion I can easily create structures. I am using the Android app as well as the website.

One of my projects is a roundtrip through Scotland and it is so cool to share my findings and get feedback from the family.
