I think what I'm trying to do now is to become a better user of the internet, taking advantages of its tools and getting into symbiosis with that powerful information-sharing connection-making machine
Reading @visakanv made me discover the beauty of interconnected thought paths (threads and QTs), curated indexes, unperfect/prolific notes to build a huge body of observations/experiences/thoughts, and thinking in public to make friends & increase luck
We have access to a powerful information-sharing tool, but we rarely use hypertext and the world wide web to its full potential
Finding desire paths after prolific journaling/posting, and making sense of information, are not things technology does for you
Going through @fortelabs BASB course gave me the mindset & methods to have another machine, a solid notetaking system that helps me keep all the best stuff in one system, to make connections, and piece creative stuff together easily (in @RoamResearch)
My project management system in Roam is mostly based on @Anonym_s3's free youtube course
for the barebones context, each project has metadata with the Project tags in it. Then there's the Project Todos tag with every todo underneath. That allows me to display project lists.
I always use the project todos page, so that's where we go next
I'm writing a thread, and then I want to quote something I haven't written yet, so I think I'll just write the first tweet of that in another tab so I can link it
The thing is I feel pressured to write this secondary thread entirely now to benefit from every impression (my reach is very tiny), otherwise people will just see the "cover" tweet, w/o content
Hell I'll just do it
Writing this is procrastination
If my Internet or Twitter crashes I'm totally fucked though
I should probably draft threads outside of Twitter, but ThreadHelper is now part of my writing process, so I'm divided about that
Anyway sorry for the ramblings, that's me thinking in public again
In today's world, we are bombarded with information coming left and right, competing for our attention, and distracting us from the work that really matters.
First tweetstorm :)
The biggest issue, when learning about systems, networked thought, accelerated learning, etc, is handling how to implement it all in a practical, realistic, and time-efficient manner.
So many systems are perfect in theory but fall apart when confronted with reality because they don't fit into your environment (external and internal).
The constant struggle between reality (selection tests) and theory leads you to systems that work and actually increase positive outcomes in your life.
At first, your systems will slow you down and reduce your output, until you improve them and get past the learning curve.
