Current Organizational Structure

Pre-history

My first concious effort to store data online was through Google Drive, Google Keep and Evernote, most are those are lost and are garbage.

2019 - Vim / Emacs

In this period I was using vimwiki and org-mode to write some notes and they're here. Some of them stil are stored in their formats (not Markdown). This was also when I first started using Dropbox to sync and store notes.

2020 - Notion

I instantly fell in love with notion (thanks Mateus), and quick made everything in it, but it was a sort of bitter love. Notion is all on the cloud and this makes it slow and not trustworthy.

I still have many things there that I just didn't take the time to move here.

2021 - 2022 (Obsidian)

Just a bunch of markdown files. For a while there were basically no hierarchy between files, but now I'm using the [[The PARA Method]] to organize them in a flexible an simple structure that I hope wil improve my workflow.

March 2022 - Aug 2022 (Logseq)

Since Febuary I've started [[Using Logseq]], I discovered it by [[Filipe Calegario]].

This meant that my current workflow changed a little bit to accommodate the differences in the tool. So I use the journal daily entries as a homepage for my TODOs and there's no directory hierarchy anymore, I really like this way of [[doing things without hierarchies]].

For a few weeks I haven't used this as much and I think this is because of the mess that I have with the daily journal entry. I wonder what can be done, but for now I'll just force myself to use it more and get used to it.

Aug 2022 - Now

I'm once again going back to Vim or Obsidian. Logseq is too opinionated and it doesn't work really well with my vision. I'm steering torwards smaller tools that are composable, such as zk.

After a couple of weeks I can say that it's working fine, even though some things are not configured properly, e.g:

Things to do

• follow links from nvim
• create notes easily from nvim
