That’s a great point, I do need to figure out what my end goal is before I sink a lot of time into having a capture system. I come from a line of librarians and I often find myself falling into information capture and management related puzzles, and while it’s nice to build resources that can go on to fuel unexpected opportunities, it’s equally important to be able to articulate goals for a project like this. I think part of mine is a general anxiety about memory, wanting to be able to have a passive, external, searchable record that can help me hold onto context that I’ll otherwise forget. I think that having a log which is flexible enough to be the bucket into which everything can be placed will also help me solve a problem of having lots of different places that different types of things end up—it fractures my system of organization in a way that makes everything a little unreliable. Inventing this new log is just another symptom of that. How I want to use and analyze it is the next thing I need to hold myself accountable for answering.
