Themed logs are still more useful than daily notes<br /> by [[Eleanor Konik]]<br /> accessed on 2025-08-18T09:19:49

On ordering notes in particular ways. Presumably search and indexing are the important factors here, but potentially also has something to say about context and the immediacy of neighborhoods.

Personal preference may be the biggest determination.

She focuses on where she'll search for things rather than indexing them where they start and then searching and concatenating them later (or digitally).

She uses the "everything has it's place" idea to commonplace more traditionally (or at least in an Obsidian digital context).

She also tangentially touches on the idea of where to place the work when taking notes. Toss it into a pile or deal with it now and the work it may take to clean up later.

Some interesting and potentially useful idiosyncratic evidence here, but nothing new or earth shattering.

Where does the line exist for moving from coded language into the space of dog whistles and a "wink and a nod"?

Do these exist in all cultures?

What level is contextual?

Rebuilding one's earlier context and switching between apps are tremendous sinks of time and energy when writing, thinking, and creating.

It's better to get as much done as possible in the present so as not to need to do all the work over again later.

The intermittent packet approach makes you more resilient towards interruptions

Because you're not loading an entire project in your mind at once, you're not losing as much context when you get interrupted.
