  • Ask HN: How do you organize your data and maintain digital hygiene?

    My "organization scheme" (as you call it) took me years to refine to match my brain/personality. Seems to be interesting to others also:

  • My Bad Habit of Hoarding Information

    I mostly read HN. Unfortunately is like drinking from a firehose.. My take to stay sane:

    - If it's interesting I upvote. If it's really interesting I bookmark on my browser. This still means ~20 links weekly..

    - Once a week I copy/paste browser bookmarks to my markdown file[0] At least every month I tree shake them. Time passes and some stuff are not so relevant/interesting anymore. Eventually they move to my notebook[1] or to my news aggregator[2].

  • Ask HN: How do you reconcile your paper and digital notes?
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Feb 2022
    I have been using a ~/notes folder with markdown files edited with vim on my computer and markor on my phone synced with syncthing. That works well. But I am also a fan of paper notes and find that they "stick" better in my memory, and I am more conservative and intentional with what I physically write. However I end up with an out of sync feeling - some information stored digitally, some in a notebook. I've been considering strategies to address this.

    One strategy I thought of is to use a single markdown file like the Hamster system [1] and alphabetize the sections; then I print this file and take handwritten notes onto the print out; then when the diff is large enough, I update the markdown file, print it again, and repeat. The main disadvantage is needing to reprint the full file for what could be small changes. To address that I have considered putting a page return between each letter of the alphabet, so each section starts on a new page.

    Do you have any strategies to effectively synchronise paper with digital notes?

  • Incremental Note-Taking

    Completely agree. There's a myriad of note-taking apps looking for the holy grail of note-taking. AFAIK none has found it so the answer may be within us: keep it simple and steady.

    I like to control so I dump everything in a plain text file. That's it. One long file is easier to manage than many short files. See it as a flat wiki and use built-in search for navigation.

    This file is not write-only: progressively summarize and tree-shake it each time you iterate your notes. You'll leverage your excitement instead of forcing discipline. Ideally, notes are organized by project, not by category. It can be a catalyst for action and reviews. After several years I still think (personal) notes history is irrelevant. YMMV.

    My take: https://github.com/slowernews/hamster-system
