If you've managed to successfully collect and organize all the noteworthy and interesting bits of info you've run into since childhood, the tools and techniques you used would make for a very interesting essay at least, book perhaps.
- silicon2401 5y agoThanks, that's quite a compliment. I sometimes think about writing a book/books about things I do. Unsurprisingly as an amateur self-archivist, I also document a lot about my life and my process so it would certainly be possible. What would make such an essay worth reading or a book worth buying, in distinction from the other self-help books already out there?
- blacktriangle 5y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but I've never really seen anybody write about general long-term archival. Most books are along the lines of GTD focused on personal productivity, personal organization, or mangerial organization. I think your take on long-term archival of interesting things is somewhat unique in the self-help space and I've read a decent amount of self-help books.
