Just to be clear, you actively maintain a collection (database?) of 10,000 index cards, spread throughout various boxes? Out of curiosity, why do you not store these digitally instead?
- dredmorbius 7y agoYes. Largely addressed in text and links above. Index cards are close at hand, flexible, and low friction.
- dredmorbius 7y ago... and substantially future-proofed.
- noobly 7y agoThis is only slightly more future-proof than keeping text files on a computer. So slight, I'd argue the difference doesn't even matter. I don't see the advantages to this behavior over storing them digitally.
- noobly 7y agoDigital index cards can be kept closer (on your phone, in your pocket, always), and arguably lower friction too, no? And plain text is pretty flexible too. IDK, I just thought the concept was strange - but if it works for you, that's great!
