Experiment with Secondbrain and Zettelkasten, the smart note taking system. Based on Foam with modifications to support my workflow with a PARA folder structure twist.
- write your own notes to deeply internalize the subject matter (or trash)
- transient reading inbox
- writing inbox
- notes are formed and put into the slip-box, into succinct, well connected notes, or lists, or long form articles,or web clips, or annotated content, or book reviews,or quotes, or puzzles/open questions
- daily notes, or work log or journal
All of the above you can do yourself with Foam. I'm experimenting with how I can improve on this in two ways:
- What process and/or features will assist me in Closing the loop - because I regularly fail at this
- What feature changes can I make to keep focus on the PARA organized folders?
- For example, should some extensions for foam ignore the archive folder to let me focus on the more relevant and actionable folders?
