  • How can one track progress? Is there progress without explicitly specified goals?

  • Dump everything in my brain in text documents
  • Schedule things that need to be scheduled/reminded
    • Decompose tasks and define time/effort estimate

  • Write everything down in markdown documents
  • Write thoughts in Google Keep while on the move, then merge them in existing documents
  • Attempt to manually aggregate content

  • No time tracking/evolution of articles
  • Manual aggregation is difficult and time consuming
  • Most of what is written is never reviewed and potentially forgotten
    • Content is not consumed/reused
    • Most of the time, the point is to make explicit what is in the brain, so that it can also be referred to later on in a reliable format
  • Notes I leave myself aren't tagged

  • Get feedback on what I wrote that is consumable by others
