this workbench is what i use to collect all my ideas, and where i spend time thinking ( writing is thinking) and documenting my “work” this is also where i take notes on the information i consume and write what i think of it,
i also see this as an outlet for things i do, learn, and experiment on
without an outlet, whatever you engage in will be ephemeral
stealing from ludwig:
Much of the point of this website is personal: I am interested in durably saving my various “arcs” and adventures in figuring out what interests me the most around and letting grow over decades.
how does this pkm ( personal knowledge base ) work?
each note is either an idea, insight, a conceptual note, book review, work journal ( experiment-styled ) or some random thing i want to have
but the neat part is that, it’s all linked together to help me come up with new ideas and insights since it’s linked via concepts; i dont really over-romanticize this particular concept since i haven’t been able to reproduce it yet
the primary task of this knowledge base is to keep me accountable by enforcing a documentation function internally
whatever i do, has to end up in here somehow or else it’s ephemeral and lost
i’ve been creating systems for this pkm as found in learning how to learn
i also understand that this is not the ideal form of consumption for most people, but that’s not the slighest concern to me right now since i want to spend time actually doing the thing for a bit more before i care about optimizing for perception.
i will create some form of flow from this workbench to my main site ( soulninja.dev ) at some point in the future.
there are different types of notes in this vault which are saved as frontmatter in the property “type”
- experiment
- book
- quest
- evergreen
- content
