Metadata Strategy

Metadata Strategy

If tagging a note takes longer than writing it, my system is fighting me.

Mind Mapping

Mind Mapping

Mind maps serve the messy first pass - branches, bubbles, relationships - then export to atomic notes.

Minimum Effective Dose

Minimum Effective Dose

The smallest change that still moves the needle - not the heroic overhaul.

Minimum Viable Product

Minimum Viable Product

Ship the smallest version that proves someone actually wants this - polish comes after proof.

Mobile Capture Workflows

Mobile Capture Workflows

Mobile capture is one tap to save the spark before scrolling away - share sheet to inbox.

PARA Method

PARA Method

PARA sorts notes into Projects, Areas, Resources, and Archives - four buckets by life responsibility, not topic soup.

Pareto Principle

Pareto Principle

The Pareto principle is the 80/20 rule - most results come from a small slice of effort.

Periodic Knowledge Review

Periodic Knowledge Review

Notes rot without revisit - calendar weekly and quarterly passes like bills.

PKM

PKM

PKM saves, organizes, and reuses what you learn - not a hobby of collecting apps.

Signal vs Noise

Signal vs Noise

Save only what changes what you do or believe this month - most feeds are noise.

Slow Productivity

Slow Productivity

Slow productivity is fewer active projects so work finishes deep instead of piling as guilt.

Spaced Repetition

Spaced Repetition

The 12 Week Year

The 12 Week Year

Compress yearly goals into twelve-week arcs you can feel - and map wiki projects to them.

The Collector's Fallacy

The Collector's Fallacy

Saving articles felt like progress until every save tied to an express deadline or got cut.

The Feynman Technique

The Feynman Technique

Teach the idea out loud to a blank page - wherever you stumble, you do not understand yet.

The Garage Concept

The Garage Concept

The vault is the garage for scraps and experiments - the blog is the showroom, kept separate.

The Knowledge Lifecycle

The Knowledge Lifecycle

Ideas move through capture, use, polish, fade, and archive - match effort to the stage.

The Second Brain Workflow

The Second Brain Workflow

Capture to inbox, organize by project, distill on reuse, express weekly - CODE and PARA in one loop.

The Trusted Inbox

The Trusted Inbox

One capture pipe emptied every week - without trust, ideas hoard in the head instead.

Weekly Review Checklists

Weekly Review Checklists

Weekly review works when the same short checklist runs every Sunday on purpose.

RSS Feeds - What I Wish I'd Done Sooner

RSS Feeds - What I Wish I'd Done Sooner

I figured RSS quietly died around 2010. A friend pointed out it never actually did - it just stopped being trendy. Two weeks of using it later, I was a convert.
