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

see creating is how you learn


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
