Hey @Victor: That's a good question- simple, but profound- one that all of us here must answer for ourselves some non-zero number of times most days.
The answer to this for me is a followup Q: What version of my future self (i.e. in what context) do i imagine would find this resource to be most useful? If the answer to that Q comes to me easily enough, then tiddler content -description, crossref link(s), tag(s)- then the NoteMaking tends to flow quite naturally. If OTOH it does not... Well then i've got yet another note w/ a set of links that i may very likely never bother to click. Take for example your note on 4-Day Work Week <https://brainfck.org/#The%204-day%20workweek>, which links to one canonical definition from Wikipedia, and two articles on the topic that i know nothing about beyond the title, where it was published, and possibly when (date is URL-encoded on one link, but not on the other). If i'm only interested in the simplest form of NoteTaking -i.e. resource curation, the Librarian role- then maybe that serves the need. But if i consider these resources important enough to hold a place in my Digital Garden (having presumably read or at least skimmed the articles), then i typically have something more to say about them. In light of your recent article on Note Taking in 2021 <https://brainfck.org/#The%204-day%20workweek> (excellent piece, b/t/w, what really set my own wheels turning <https://groups.google.com/g/tiddlywiki/c/vlAZ_K4K63o>, along with a good few others), i don't guess i'm telling you anything new, Victor... But anyway: thanks again for sparking a bit more introspection into this process i too often run, but still don't think critically enough about! /walt On Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at 11:22:29 AM UTC+1 Victor Dorneanu wrote: > Hi, > > since I was not able to find such a thread, I've decided to create a new > one.
