2-3 days in i notice myself writing way more, and connecting my notes with each other
i am also constantly finding problems with it and fixing it then and there using either a moc, a tag or another note to act as a link
the problem i find the hardest to solve right now is figuring out what notes are incomplete and need to still be worked on
where clearly i am yet to finish working on a note when i wanted to
an easy way is to just leave todo
and do a filter by that.. ill try it out for the next few days to see how that goes
small issue where i was hesitating putting things outside the “network”
easily solved by adding it either into tag: moc or tag: logs

so i actually had this vault for a long time, but never came up with a solid way to use it. mostly because i was not writing consistently / thinking and mostly just doing
part of me wishing i was doing more right now but regardless
now that i figured out there’s actual value in having something like this
it has been a rather good outlet and that is a HUGE problem solver for me
but i already know i am going to have so many incomplete notes but i dont really care lol
1 week in:
weird confusion with “actionables” and knowledge
definitely moving more towards the knowledge side of things and not the “scrappy” working notes / actionables eventhough that’s where it defaults to and i dont think that’s a good direction if i want it to take good notes.
i need to separate actionables from this.
if i want to move fast ( which i do ) and embrace uncertainty and chaos — having a knowledge system and a pipeline for actionables to go through is very very taxing mentally and creates a lot of steps and friction. that is so not helping me take action which is my primary metric for measuring progress.
“chaos feels bad but structure is anti-creative”
“you want to be effective before you worry about being efficient”
“the fetish of scaling through structure, process and legibility are opioids, not medicines for success”
“process begets more process. before you know it, the failed process is all that is left. instead of working for the content, it sought to be the content.”
the number one reason people buy into process is because they want to avoid pain, and they believe things are supposed to get less painful over time.
this is why i want to practice doing hard things everyday…
there is clear value on having a knowledge system
