# Mission ^7023bc > *I want to develop a lifestyle revolving around capturing my non-linear thoughts that can be used to create mental [[Connection|connections]] and reflections to better understand myself.* ^1e64a7 # [[Intention]] > The [[Intention]] of this page is to track my learning process towards developing my [[Mind Map]] system and lifestyle. > > An emphasis on lifestyle and daily integration of reflection. > > Understanding how I learned this to help myself, I can then create beginner guide and template system that can be given or sold to others. > > Possibly an open-source base [[Obsidian]] vault and premium version using my personal techniques. --- # Future Waves of Learning ^47b970 - Initial wave: - [x] the software itself. (*~1 month*) ✅ 2023-12-30 - Second wave: - [x] applying techniques using the software tools. (*~1-2 months*) ✅ 2024-01-06 - Third wave: *current* - [ ] integration of lifestyle and reiteration of techniques/tools. (*~3-6 months*) - Fourth wave: - [ ] further knowledge discovery and learning for [[Psychology]] - [ ] applied human [[psychology]] techniques. (*~1-2 years*) - Fifth wave - [ ] further knowledge discovery and learning for [[Artificial Intelligence]] - [ ] applied AI learning models. (*~2-4 years*) --- # Guiding Questions > 1. Can I find what I'm looking for quickly? Easily? > 2. Am I able to think fast? Am I able to think deeply? > 3. Can I be surprised by serendipitous [[Connection|connections]]? # Guiding Definitions ^aaed28 The theme I intend to cultivate throughout this is based on [[psychology]], computer science, and software development. ## Journaling ### Basic Note-Taking > - [[Basic Note]] > - Turn random and stray ideas into concrete notes to be seen again later > - No longer lose random knowledge or insights ### Periodics > - [[Daily Note]] > - [[Weekly Note]] > - [[Monthly Note]] > - [[Yearly Note]] ### Reflections > - Periodics encourage reflective journaling using sections > - [[Daily Note#^41bc6a|Daily Note -> What Did I learn today?]] > - [[Daily Note#^0dd391|Daily Note -> Questions Raised]] > - [[New Discussion]] > - [[New Conversation]] > - [[New Note Conversion]] ### [[Knowledge Management|Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)]] > - [[First Brain]] > - [[Second Brain]] > - [[Knowledge Garden|🌳 Knowledge Garden]] > - [[LYT Kit]] > - [[Mind Palace]] > - [[Thought Trip|thought-trips]] > - [[Zettelkasten|Zettelkasten]] ## Science ### [[Psychology]] > - [[Autism]] > - [[Carl Jung]] > - [[Conscious|Consciousness]] > - [[Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs]] > - [[Alignment Living]] > - [[Non-Linear Thinking]] ### Software Development > - [[Agile]] ### Computer Science > - Algorithms > - [[Connection|Connections]] > - [[Connection]] > - Graphs > - [[Knowledge Graph]] > - [[Node|Nodes]] > - Note --- # Guiding Values of [[PKM]] [[LYT Kit]] - *Source* When it comes to your [[PKM]] (Personal knowledge management), the following are some guiding values and principles to consider. _Your digital library should:_ > 1. Be a joy to use > 2. Be future-proofed (so your notes are robust, not fragile) > 3. Allow for fast and reliable note retrieval (both today and in 10 years) > 4. Encourage critical, creative, connective, and generative thinking > 5. Encourage active, engaged, and contextual thinking > 6. Encourage lateral and metaphorical thinking > 7. Allow for the spontaneous cross-pollination of ideas > 8. Produce finished products (when desired) > 9. Accumulate in meaningful knowledge over time > 10. Compound in personal value over time > 11. Encourage repetition (repetitions strengthen memory) --- # Timeline ## The Start > - [[My 2023 Rock Bottom]] > - Note taking software research > - Discovery of Obsidian --- # Obsidian ### Obsidian Templater > -

[[Enable Obsidian Sync]] > - useful for cross-device usage > - mainly to be able to save time converting mobile notes instead of [[New Note Conversion]] template > - official sync support is likely better than third-party risk through Dropbox (no offence to Dropbox, it was working well) > -

something something about brain is a cache system > - [[2023-12-15#^f3b57a]] ### Verticality structure using bullet points to continue lines of thinking > - breaks up long paragraphs into shorter, more digestible thoughts ### Pins act as "front or top of the mind" items > - currently pinned: > - [[The Mind Of Serka - Published Home Page]] > - [[Daily Note]] of the day ### Integrating tags AND page links into sentences as words > - metadata for entire pages should be placed mostly in the tags section of each page > - Learned making [[Connection|connections]] using mentions can be expanded upon immensely > - [[Convert existing tags over to appropriate definitions]] > - context tagging (i.e. #x/y/z or #a/b/c or #tagTerm/subTerm or #fruit/apple) ### Multiple Appearances for different modes of work > - one appearance for work mode, another for reading mode (minimal vs discordian) > - emojis are nice in minimal mode, but does not work with dropbox ### Insights bookmark and tag > - Conversions are the past > - Reflections are the present > - Dreams are the future > - #insight #insights ### Status tags > - don't commit to a task item until set to #in-progress state ^bd08c6 > - #triage is a state of uncertainty, thus not worth spending too much mental effort and time > - #triage to #backlog when moved out of the thought pot into a backlog project (accepted idea with a little bit of added detail) > - #backlog to #ready when moved out of backlog and into ready folder (defined and approved) > - #ready to #in-progress once actively working on task > - #in-progress to #complete once work feels completed ### Folder Hierarchy Systems > - [[Safety Box]] > - [[WORDS]] > - instead of [[Idea Box]] (thanks [[Rachel Ray|Rachel]]) > - Type: task on [[WORDS]] ideas > - [[Dictionary/Mind Keys/Obsidian/Dictionary]] > - A place to store definitions and build a glossary and connection base ### Periodic Notes Reviewing > - [[Pull weekly, monthly, yearly ideas from planner]] > -

Published Home Page]] ### How to Write and Edit ^8bed39 > - Mass linear and non-linear writing focusing on the flow of the writing more than anything > - Backtrack through mass edit and split into new headers, paragraphs, sentences, line breaks > - Personally I tend to do a lot of bullet pointing, which can translate fairly well into the hashtag header style of writing. Which I may try to do more often (2023-12-22 18:00) > - Backtrack again to linkitize and add to [[Dictionary/Dictionary|Dictionary]] > - Once more to finalize completeness and metadata tags --- # Internet knowledge ### [[Tane Piper]] [[Knowledge Garden]] > - #github https://github.com/tanepiper/obsidian-garden > - [[New Project Todo List]] > - [[🏭 Project Stucture|Project Structure]] > - Idea box (Seed Box) ### [[LYT Kit]] > - https://www.linkingyourthinking.com/myideaverse/start > - uses [[Obsidian]] and gives a sandbox environment as a place to start learning by doing > - ARC Framework—Add, Relate, Communicate > - [[Learn the 4 levels of effort and LYT Kit]] ### Themes: > - [[LYT Kit|Ideaverse]] > - [[Knowledge Garden|🌳 Knowledge Garden]] --- # Q & A ### Q: "*What king of writing?*" > "Personal reflection and psychology type of journaling, also a thing called Personal Knowledge System." > [[The Seven Acts]] ### Q: "Why?" > [[About My Mind Map#^1e64a7|Mission Statement]] ### Q: "*How?*" > [[About My Mind Map|Future of Mind Map]] ### Q: "*Who does this benefit?*" > [[About My Mind Map#Guiding Values of PKM|Guiding Values of PKM]] ### Q: "*How did you do this?*" > [[About My Mind Map#Timeline|The Timeline]] --- Relevant tags: #mind-key #mind-map #technique #obsidian #problem-solving #self-discovery #reflections #sleep
