  1. I just spent probably 2 hours cleaning up my notes on one small subject. Letting shit go like this makes writing so-o-o-o hard because everything is just scattered all to hell & gone everywhere in and out of my slip-box.

    But. Not only are my notes writing-ready now (on this topic only, alas, but hey), now I know a bit better how to do this one small part so I don't make so much chaos for the future.

  2. Как я изобрёл ежедневник

    Три года назад я наткнулся на Zettelkasten — метод ведения заметок, где каждая мысль живёт в отдельной заметке и ссылается на другие связанные записи. Примерно как Википедия: читаешь одну статью, внутри куча ссылок, по ним переходишь дальше. В итоге получается целая сеть знаний — граф связей. Наверное, самый известный инструмент для ведения этого в цифре — Obsidian . Идея меня тогда очень зацепила. Особенно обещание, что со временем Obsidian станет твоим «вторым мозгом». Звучит соблазнительно. Когда постоянно что-то делаешь, читаешь, учишься, работаешь, в какой-то момент начинает казаться, что в голову просто ничего больше не помещается. И идея вынести часть памяти во внешний инструмент выглядит очень привлекательно. Я попробовал. И, если честно, у меня получилась фигня. Я не считаю, что Зеттелькастен — плохой метод. Он просто подходит далеко не для всего. Например, когда я проходил курс по работе, такой формат действительно отлично сработал. Материалы в курсах специально разбиты на смысловые блоки, темы продолжают друг друга, термины связаны между собой. Можно открыть одну заметку, перейти в соседнюю и быстро восстановить контекст. Как способ вести конспект — отлично! Но обещанного эффекта «второго мозга» я не почувствовал. Я не стал лучше запоминать или глубже разбираться в теме. При этом Obsidian я продолжал использовать ещё несколько лет. И со временем заметил, что от всей сложной системы связей у меня осталась одна привычка: Один день — одна заметка

  3. I've been spring cleaning to exorcise evil spirits and bad qi (unnecessary metadata) from my notes:

  4. Acquired Lochby Field Folio A6 (Lochby)

    Keep your A6 notebooks, pens, and essentials organized on the go with the Field Folio A6. Durable, vegan waxed canvas, slim design, and flexible pockets—perfect for travel, journaling, or everyday carry.

    I recently asked the kind folks at Lochby “if the Folio A6 will comfortably fit 25-50 standard 4 x 6″ index cards which are slightly larger than an A6 notebook? If not, is it something you might consider for some of us ‘Hipster PDA’ tribe members in the future?”  

    Erring on the side of caution their customer service replied, “Unfortunately, since the Field Folio A6 zips up, there’s no way to fit this many index cards in it without the potential for damaging them when zipping it up. But I’ll take note of your suggestion and pass it on to our product development team so we can consider it as well as gauge interest.”

    Because I often use A6 sized notebooks, I couldn’t resist adding to my Lochby collection, so I went ahead and ordered it anyway.

    It arrived in the post yesterday. Today I’m happy to report that it actually will accommodate 4 x 6″ index cards reasonably well.  I can comfortably fit about 30 cards into the right side pocket and still have room to tuck a Hobonichi A6 notebook into the folio and still zip it shut handily. 

    Because I usually have a few pre-glued decks of index card “notebooks” sitting around, I tried one of these and can happily report that the back cover/board fits into the right pocket easily (just as you’d tuck the back cover of a notebook into it) and works well with the Lochby A6 folio! (The center elastic bands are slightly smaller and fairly tight, and could work with these glued decks too, but will tend to cut the glue at the ends, so one should take care here or carefully only glue the center 5 inches of the deck for this use case.) I suspect that if one had a plastic wallet-photo type holder, it might work well in this, particularly if you’re carrying around some of your daily use cards in addition to blank cards for future use. 

  5. Aloha! 👋 Interesuję się wieloma rzeczami, więc nigdy się nie nudzę. Raczej nie wystarcza mi na to doby, bo jednak kiedyś trzeba pracować na życie i spać 😉 Dlatego też pewnie n/n profil będzie pewnie dość różnorodny. A jaka mniej więcej tematyka? #szycie #handmade #fotografia #zwierzęta #rower #taniec #bieganie #rucking #włóczęgizpsem #śpiew #minimalizm #zettelkasten #notetaking #książki #rolki #obsidian #higienacyfrowa #technologie ...na ten moment więcej grzechów nie pamiętam 😉

  6. If you’re an analog zettelkasten fan, I just bought a few bricks of 500 index cards for $6.08 each at my local Amazon Fresh. Most brands list for $12-$16 for this many; even Amazon.com is currently listing them for $10.50. Sadly it doesn’t match my all-time-best of $2.06. What’s your best? 🗃️📝

  7. Surfing around with respect to library card catalogs, I ran across John Blyberg‘s Library Card Generator this afternoon. Anyone who’s playing at the intersection of analog and digital zettelkasten is sure to love the possibilities here.

    Incidentally, if you’re still into the old-school library card catalog cards, Demco still sells the red ruled cards!

  8. You like to make #notes
    You organize your life by some Zettelkasten-like methodology.

    You like cloud-based services because it's convenient to make your grocery list now, from home, and check it before leaving work because you're forgetful like me.

  9. Just tried #Helix #TextEditor and I quite like it so far. It’s not as powerful as #Vim and different in places, but where it breaks away from Vim it’s to make it easier to use (similar as Fish vs Zsh).

    The out-of-the-box experience is much nicer than Vim. Its biggest problem IMHO is that its pros are different from Vi(m) and Vi is everywhere.

    In combination with the #Zettelkasten-like #Marksman LSP it’s great for editing #MarkDown notes.
