@pluralistic in addition to #GTD methods, I found a pretty "revealing" method that helps me prioritize things:

I am in the process of setting up a brand new laptop and doing a lot of thinking about organizing information and files and time. This was a good read. I am looking forward to learning more about #GTD but I would love to learn more about Cory's strategies for info management @pluralistic.

thank you for this! I read this ages ago but this is the point in time when I am able to act on this sort of thing. I am currently drowning in data, have too many projects, and am an avid collector of information. I am hoping this will help me get a handle on it all.

super useful! I am torn btw a wordpress blog cory style or trying a wiki. I'm a bit nervous that the wiki will become a madhouse of chaos. I rather like the chronological post system baked into a blog. I am also a bit shy of committing to a particular program bc I have had so many dead ends in that regard. Part of this current project is to recapture all those loose ends stranded in evernote, onenote, and all the other 'solutions' I've played with in the past.

I'm a big believer in "associative" approaches (linky/bushy), though my wikis have chrono front pages.
You might want to play with Obsidian, based on markdown files (so low "commitment")

@billseitz @peterfr @pluralistic
you mentioned instapaper, & now I'm remembering I have a ton of stuff there & on pocket, too, all several years old at this point. I'm getting a little overwhelmed just thinking about it all.
BUT I did download Obsidian. And am trying out your 'first pages' guide. I have a few questions about those pages. Like, journal2024, would that be a separate file for each day? Or one running file for a year? Would this all make more sense if I actually read GTD first?

@jenmarin @peterfr @pluralistic Personally, I make 1 page per week, and spin off specialized pages as needed. Other people have lots of stuff in a Daily template that they apparently fill in - yikes I'm allergic to stuff like that...

my current method is a physical notebook bullet journal style.
I am still a bit lost on your 'first pages' instructions.

Thanks again for the #obsidian recommendation. I'm totally hooked and I think it's going to help me in so many ways. It's a lot to learn, but I can already notice how it's changing my thinking and I'm excited to see where this leads.

@billseitz @peterfr @pluralistic and speaking of bushy thinking, I found a good resource by someone who shares your name. Coincidence?

I came across this idea about the overall organization of notes in Obsidian but I also started using my decimal system for files on my computer. Also using plugin Periodic Notes to template daily & weekly notes.

@jenmarin @peterfr @pluralistic it's pretty easy to boil down
The rest of the page is kind of explaining why it works and giving strategies for how to meta-group stuff
