In this case, it's mostly about the additional perspectives on how learning works from the act of managing your information through various note-taking methods. I also restructured the note on org-babel and moved as its own note on the hierarchical notebook. I think summarizing a tool and giving my own comments about it is a nicer way of describing it. Plus, I can freely link between any other types of note so I figured it would be better. That said, I should be picky on how to make org-roam entries. And also org-roam v2 is better, after all. :)

Note-taking are meant as a mental scratchpad, not some sort of creative writing.
|
|
(That said, you can [[id:d024516b-35ea-40ae-9433-ceacea695073][Write paragraphs like music]].)
|
|
The time you spent making things align as if you have OCD could be spent editing and improving other notes.
|
|
|
|
Personal notes, no matter how poorly written or unmaintained, are still valuable.
|
|
So if you have tendencies like this, just relax and correct them. :)
|
|
Trashing notes should be taken as a last resort if you're sure it is not relevant to you in the present and in the near future.
|
|
Still, you should keep in mind that [[id:3994e8d7-8d77-4f52-9650-330369e82143][Future-proofing your notes is only worth if the future is relevant]].

Found some inconsistent titles?
|
|
Improper metadata?
|
|
Incorrect datetime format?
|
|
Just correct them as you stumble upon them.
|
|
|
|
Other examples include:
|
|
|
|
- Satisfying my obsessiveness over the little things such as sorting lines for the note metadata in alphanumerical order.
|
|
- Finding the perfect note system and constantly shopping for better tools.
|
|
- Consequently from the previous point, obsessing over the fact that the first draft of my notes are not perfect.
|
|
- Collecting every links that I may need to refer to the future (see [[link][Collector's Fallacy]]) and mistakenly putting them at my notes (when it should be at my inboxes to be processed).
|
|
|
|
A similar dilemma I have yesterday is trying to format the metadata my Org mode files and sorting them alphabetically.
|
|
I've written a script and as I'm not experienced in text processing, I spent most of my time reading up documentation on the tools.
|
|
I did learned something with the tools but I've realized it's a big waste of time especially if my notes have grown.
|
|
If I found another hip and new note-taking method and it doesn't conform to the new ideal notes in my mind, then I should relax and try it out.
|
|
If it's good and I integrated it, I'll simply link it to my old notes.
