review 2024-01-27
- on Herman’s systems:
- I simplified most existing things:
- capture - I now use one capture inbox for everything: task, ideas, bookmark, so GTD capture and research capture are combined. This is a practice, not to say it is good or bad, it is simple enough to work decently
- review - I now review my zettelkasten daily, but sometimes there’s more than what I can do on the instant.(like the whole of my research system is like a big pile of nonsense right now, and so is my GTD integration; I’ll reduce, or delete them entirely very shortly after)
- tags - I don’t use it as of now. I may start it somewhere in the future, but now I don’t use it
- process - One process diagram should be enough, instead of this giant load of text
- engage - checking agenda, and that’s it. I use phone timer more often now.
- in general, this whole page is very not useful. I use current life script more now, although it does not contain information on research and stuff. I could extend it to include these though.
- I use some new concepts, like primitive action, and new set of very limited primitives in top of my mind.
- I practice slow-carb diet and use a fitness program now, they should be included.
- It is decided: I’m stuffing everything in the lifestyle script. research is a lifestyle, fitness is a lifestlye, shake the staticity off is a lifestyle, I live and I live with a style. Yet I may want to have it split into smaller pieces
- I simplified most existing things:
- on the zettelkasten
- lots of places for reduction and improvement it is not very useful in general. old, rambling note that should be discarded in second batch processing are scattering at places where I quote them, thinking they are good concise notes. A lot of places could use visuals and concise words, examples or links to concrete examples
- on the tasks
- the reduction is working, there’s a lot to think for the tasks. this means a change to the my GTD zettel is in request
- on tracking and experiments
- tracking is hard to remember. but it is damn useful.
- highlight + comment method and capture is a form of tracking thoughts
- so I think I should track some specific, explicitly measureable things, and have them noted somewhere so I don’t forget
