A good friend of mine is falling down the Xitter to Red Hat pipeline and it has me thinking about how to get better at remembering sources of information or, hell, just remember certain topics long enough to research them thoroughly enough to be able to speak at least somewhat eloquently about the topic.
Fairly confident the friend is going to follow the path he’s going to follow, so I’m not looking for advice on that.
Take notes and organize them. There are many ways to this. Obsidian is worth trying.
Logseq (log-seek) is open source alternative
It really helps but I kinda forget to use it or are not motivated enough to write thoughts down. And the key really lies in just starting without thinking too much about the structure.
The key is to just write down anything stupid and useless or funny thing. First you have to learn to write notes. Then you learn how to write good notes.
I have literally started to add every thought in my head into obsidian and already it feels like someone could probably recreate my mind from it lol
The best ADHD feature is the ability to link notes, even ones that done exist. So if you have a really specific idea about some topic you can just write it down, link it to the topic, and then get back to whatever task you were doing when the thought arose. Then when you have time you can find the idea again as long as you remember the topic or topics you linked it too
Came to say just that. Obsidian is great, I use it to keep information I’ve looked up, like how to set a few of my more obscure watches, to the hot tub chemicals, to projects I’m working on and planning
That’s a good idea, I do use Obsidian for TTRPG notes
