If my | daily notes are getting unwieldy then I use a Markdown file which | I sync on Github. And when I really want to make sure that I've | understood something I'll either write a blogpost or stream | myself going through a library. | | I would definitely appreciate the ability to search my old notes | better since they got too long to efficiently parse a long time | ago but this process lets me structure the really important | concepts I learn without adding too much overhead when I'm just | learning random stuff. I also expect my notes to outlast many | knowledge base projects and part of the appeal of markdown to me | is that it's probably gonna be around for a while. | | I'm curious if any writers here have found personal knowledge | bases to be worth the initial overhead. | bwat49 wrote: | > My process so far has been I keep a daily journal where I | write down the most interesting things I learnt or did everyday | | Trilium should work great for this, you can press ctrl + alt + | p to automatically create a new day note under a calendar tree. | | In my case, I also added a custom shortcut/button that brings | me to the current day in the calendar tree | souterrain wrote: | I find that an ability to search the knowledgebase exceeds the | value of organizing according to a hierarchy.

I also use Joplin for general note | taking and Google Keep for website resources. I'm set. | maxwellwhite wrote: | Website resources? ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2020-05-28 23:00 UTC)
