I noticed you also have a blog. Did you find that helps?
I have a daily journal where I log ideas/observations but it's organized by date on GitHub (and I get paranoid about having it in the cloud, TBH). The idea of organizing around ideas or topic trees makes more sense, though.
- Alex3917 6y agoI try to teach myself one big thing per year, and then eventually do a writeup to explain how I taught myself that thing. And yeah, FreeMind definitely helps for that also. Right now I'm a few years behind just due to building my startup, although I have a 20K+ word post that just needs one last round of minor edits heh. In terms of topic trees, yeah the main benefit is that forcing yourself to organize your ideas this way helps you to have new ideas, just based on being able to see the relationships between things that you wouldn't have otherwise been able to see. This is my blog post that goes more in-depth on the benefits: https://alexkrupp.typepad.com/sensemaking/2012/09/program-above-and-beyond-your-actual-ability-by-using-freemind.html https://alexkrupp.typepad.com/sensemaking/2012/09/program-ab...
