Hello Shay, I use TW as my entire external brain! That means I have a tag for "Personal" and "Research" (which is technical). So my journal entries are all tagged with Journal, as well as either Research or Personal. I also keep bits of math, code-snippets, and journal paper notes in my TW with appropriate tags.
I make extensive use of lists to group things together. For example, my "Research Journal" tiddler is: <$list filter="[tag[Research]tag[Journal]!sort[created]]"> <h2><$link><$transclude field="title" mode="block"/></$link></h2> <$transclude field="text" mode="block"/> <div class="myback-top"> <$link to="Research Journal"><i class="fa fa-chevron-up" aria-hidden="true" ></i></$link> </div> <br/><hr/> </$list> My "Papers of Interest" Tiddler is: !! Health <dl><$list filter="[tag[PoI]tag[EHR]!nsort[touched]]" template= "$:/.dm/templates/list-summary-prioritize"/></dl> !! General <dl><$list type="dl" filter="[tag[PoI]!tag[EHR]!nsort[touched]]" template= "$:/.dm/templates/list-summary-prioritize"/></dl> where PoI is Papers of Interest, and touched is a field I use to keep papers Ive recently come across floated to the top. Let me know if you'd like to discuss more! Diego On Sunday, December 17, 2017 at 8:01:40 PM UTC-6, Shay Shaked wrote: > > I apologize in advance if this is going to sound like a huge rant.
