Ehh... Why I didn't think of those things but here we are. They are
going to stay for a little while.

Also, there's a slight shift in how I want use my wiki now. Instead of
trying to craft every note into a set of evergreen notes. While Andy
Matuschak's notes are very practical, it also focuses too much
on crafting evergreen notes (a bit too much). Or maybe that was just my
impression? Either way, I'll let some of my thoughts to drift if it able
to link somewhere in the notes. I think I'm getting the point of

Personal information management

Personal information management (PIM) is self-explanatory as it is. It the process of managing your information including File metadata, Note-taking, library management, and much more. Those information surely didn't come out of nowhere, you most likely got the idea from others. Thus, minding about Information literacy is a good thing.

Practicing information management

While there's no correct way to practice PIM but to start:

  • Maintain your own digital library which can make managing personal belongings from your personal photos, academic libraries and references, and your anime collection all the more easier.
  • While not a good one, the 3-2-1 rule is a good starting point for practicing backups. The rule is simple: 3 copies of your data stored in 2 media (e.g., internal hard drive, external storage) with at least 1 of them stored offsite of your computer (e.g., remote location, cloud service).
  • Start to manage File metadata but only for the most relevant resources.
  • Start to Use timestamps as a future-proofing method.
  • Consider to roam:Create evergreen notes with your digital library.
