just a thought experiment
related / parts: notetaking extension
automating this whole second brain thing
digital gardens, zettelkasten and so many other workflows / systems in place
everything has it’s ups and downs
but a big problem ive seen repeatedly is
laziness
what if
note taking, and bookmarking, and recording streams and the whole process of “saving”, “linking”, “notes” was just - automated
not fully, but semi automated where you’d have to input some words / tags or something like that
i think im unto something here
a browser extension, which sees tabs and notices you jumping into a rabbit hole, records all links, saves to your obsidian, it’ll prompt u after u “finish” if u wanna save, and it could even help you stay in focus and not get distracted ( opening twitter for the extra dopamine )
ill think more about this
as automated as it can get with the most minimal effort and intuitive
and flowy to the point where it just “works” and solves the big problems
“find something”
“share something”
“note it down”
“think deeply about it”
“search what i know about it”
you need to be able to store anything
and the way you interact with it should be to search
via nlp
what do i do today: shows what you have to do…
save anything i want from my browser and it has to be super quick and instant
i need to be able to write to my second brain very quickly - maybe a popup attached to a keyboard shortcut
search things need to be easy
all these need to be categorized properly
can be opiniated
what’s the issue i have with second brain systems even right now
i mainly use mine to
- journal
- take down notes when i learn about something new
i need to do more of the above to actually see how it works in a notetaking system
