The remaining piece is the specific note-taking software itself. I have also contemplated using version control (probably git for convenience, as I believe “bare remote” workflow would be applicable, although Fossil might be a better fit for the task) inside the container to make the synchronization more reliable. I found multiple ad-hoc file-sharing solutions, such as ezshare, but eventually remembered Syncthing. Thus, I have looked into alternatives that work over a local network, ideally without any central server, because I still resist maintaining a home server as well. It wasn’t always reliable and obviously required an internet connection. Back when I moved between multiple computers in university, I shared the container between them using a cloud service (MEGA). My notes have already been mostly in the form of plain-text files, stored in a VeraCrypt container. I reject such approach: in part because of privacy (or rather lack thereof), in part because those services may disappear (remember Google Notebook?) or ones data may disappear (the Mat Honan’s story came out almost a decade ago already), in part because I don’t even have a data plan (or a modern smartphone for that matter). In this day and age, many simply go with one of many online services that can synchronize notes between devices and what not. So obviously I have decided to switch to a more complex solution. Additionally, a big part of my motivation for knowledge management is that I do a lot of reading/listening, and then want to reference it in arguments or make use of the attained knowledge to write a blog. The most successful part has been logging daily activities, especially habits, to keep myself accountable, but the entries have become bloated over time. Naturally, I have created TODO lists and kept various notes at times, but because they were scattered around, I would sometimes forget to check them or even lose them, and even if not, they were not easily searchable. I think someone out there might find the writeup helpful.Īnyway, what is this project about? Long story short, the goal is to adopt systematic time- and knowledge management. To be fair and balanced, I had to finish an extended sprint at work, then at least partially recover from the burn out, and it still took me several attempts to finish writing this. The very first update on the final day of the four weeks, what a great start.
