this is a navigation of ideas I want to keep at the top of my mind, yet too lazy or can’t carry a physical copy of.

Sometimes I completely forget about anything I’m trying to keep track of. Here provides some information about where do I start to reload all that.

  • 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
  • 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
