What happens at the intersection of an idea?
Answer: Ikigai I've been trying to structure my procrastination. I call it positive directional procrastination. These are some of the results. @thomasteepe has got me thinking about tools for idea creation. Even though this one is specifically a digital one, I still want to credit Thomas. Maybe he'd rather I not mention… -

Re: More programmer nonsense Re: Atomicity - Writing and Thinking
@ctietze said: Aha! Not being a (real) programmer, much less a programming language designer, I hadn't heard the term language ergonomics, which is a term specific to programming language design. I googled "language ergonomics" and quickly found at least a couple of sources (LangDev StackExchange, ProgrammingLanguages… -
Re: The under-stressed importance of a regular review practice.
Oh yes, and I‘m not alone with my #insights and #questions. ;-) Not a surprise, but my Zettelkasten actually generates more questions (97) than insights (15). May be there is a need for improvement?!? -
Re: The under-stressed importance of a regular review practice.
Sönke Ahrens said a few things in his book that struck home as worth imitating, replicating, worth stealing, but his focus on dividing notes into arbitrary categories wasn't one of them. I use some tagging when I have a note I want to group with other notes covering a similar topic. I use tags to group notes by topic, not… -
Re: Share your ZK plans for 15 MAY - 21 May.

Re: Just started, already lost in clutter. How do you prevent to get lost in so many notes and links?
Still trying to understand. How do you find notes related to, say, fake news, using the search function, if not all the notes have the word "fake news" in them? Taking the Web metaphor, we are able to find content because we search by keywords and we find content with those keywords in it. -
Re: Just started, already lost in clutter. How do you prevent to get lost in so many notes and links?
The search function. You cannot know what you may be asked to write in a year, so you cannot necessarily predict what notes you will need in advance. So you need to be able to search for anything. I would just do an initial search of my archive as I might do a search of the net, and see which of my notes seem relevant. I… -
Re: Friction with getting started
Long time lurker, first time posting. Kevin your posts and comments resonated with me and motivated me to register to the forum. I have experience the same struggles trying to make progress creating a Zettelkasten. After many starts and stops and regrouping I gain traction using Bear Notes. When Bear changed their wiki…
