In this quest I realized that my real purpose was to create a *[[TIM|Totally Integrated Machine]]*, where the purpose is not just to reflect my first brain, but to augment it. **See**:: [[second brain]], [[note writing]] #### Outline - Where do we start? - [[Your second brain should be frictionless access to a curated base of knowledge]] - [[Your second brain should be an inspirational hub of creativity]] - [[Write your notes like you're planting an evergreen forest]] - Just use [[Obsidian (software)]] - [[Obsidian's graph is useful in the implicit and dynamic relations it can reveal]] - [[Use Obsidian tags as temporal classifiers]] - [[my TO(DO) and EVER(GREEN) structure]] - What is the goal? - [[A second brain should mirror how we think]] - [[Densely linked webs of thought provide intuitive access to knowledge]] - [[Evergreen notes organize knowledge so that it can grow]] - Write all the time - [[When in doubt, write what you think]] - [[How to understand what you read]] - How the hell do we do this? - Make everything accessible - [[Note structures should help curate knowledge]] - [[Organization systems are not mutually exclusive]] - [[Curate source notes and definitions in your second brain to avoid junk text]] - Augment your brain power - [[Using spaced repetition for your conceptual notes]] - [[Use spaced repetition as a memory tool for your second brain]] - [[Use spaced repetition to weed your digital garden]] - [[A totally integrated machine should automate as much of the thinking process as possible]] - [[A totally integrated machine should be infinitely scalable]] - Don't overburden yourself - [[Prioritize understanding over organization or categorization]] - [[Combine notes instead of deleting them to avoid ghost data in a second brain]] - What are the hurdles? - [[The fragility of information in knowledge management]] - [[We are confined to the tools of our time]] - [[Deleting a note in a web of thought can have unforeseen consequences]] #### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked mentions > > - [[How do we ensure our note systems scale correctly]] > - [[Note storage is important because it defines how you access and retain knowledge]] > - [[Stub notes are data structures for implicit knowledge gathering]] > - [[Your notes should be avenues for learning]] > [!dataview]- All unlinked mentions > > - [[201 Welcome]] > - [[204 Writing]] > - [[topics]] > - [[Term notes]] > - [[evergreen notes]] > - [[source notes]] > - [[topic notes]] > - [[Choosing a note writing system is choosing a system for thought]] > - [[We will evolve when we make learning as easy as thinking]] > - [[What are the differences between evergreen notes and conceptual notes]]
