Uses: at what step or stage info is at - preliminary notes on 'notes' - at what class or use of info are these

[123]

a better word than ‘info’ = is rules

• cos rules are useful, they are actionable

• rules are a subset of ‘info’ and the useful kind/class of info, aka:

• info

  • rules

rules about:

1. what the ideal (of X) should be

example: humanity should be good & innovative

• innovative - they actually do things that matters

• good - they actually do things that leads (in an empirically measured way) to positive & good effects

2. what is doable

example: humans shouldnt set fire to random places

• Y is the ideal, but Z is doable for now

• aka: we are at 0, we want to be at 1

  • zero to one: building the future

example: every time i use this telescope, it burns me a bit, that sucks, it is merely doable, it’s fine, make do

3. todos (actionable rules/info)

example: summarise stuff about ‘notes/info’

4. processes - steps (sequential rules / ‘sets of info’

example:

1. step one to saving humanity is…
2. step two…

i dont think i missed any of the important class/kinds/types of info/lists/notes, but this is just from memory

question: if i missed any, let me know!

5. then there’s more like ‘archival’ info, facts, data - most of this is very un-helpful

• aka: comparatively useless relative to helpful things

• most of this becomes outdated quickly

• like the law made in 1950s says this, and here’s all the irrelevant details about that…

• it could be useful (very very rarely & very niche cases)

• & mosst can be just be googled

6. something a bit more useful is summary info/notes

example: such as this post

question: if i missed any important uses for various kinds/types/class of info/lists/notes, let me know!

insignificant context

in the middle of rethinking the perfect todo method/system/etc./w/e you wanna call it

• so jotting down preliminary notes on ‘notes’

• also partly a response to the post from @Vincent_Tang

[5] ✪ General Philosophical Analgies and Productivity Tips

4 types of notes There are 4 different types of notes, and it is my belief your notetaking habits should revolve around these fairly unchanging set of rules, in a 2x2 matrix form [image] When I say “polluted notes”, these are generally sources of information that do not have an outstanding amonut of structure for long duration of notes Unpolluted notes are well organized from the get-go normally Internal driven notes are simply things where you drive the actions to jot down notes E…

minior insignificant info:

i was gonna use airtable but after looking into it, it seems only helpful when,

• you have large amounts of data

A few Dynalist project management ideas

I have recently been playing around with the spreadsheet-based project management software Airtable, and it gave me a few ideas that I’ve brought back to Dynalist and thought I would share (I often find this happens when playing around with other programs - new ideas that I never would have thought of in dynalist alone, anyway …). Firstly, I’ve seen the benefit of adding a progress tag to my projects (a continuous percentage like you can have in Airtable doesn’t work as you can’t do searches in…

question: if i missed any important uses for various kinds/types of info/lists/notes, let me know!

oh the steps / stages of info/notes, forgot: ok so, this not important that’s why i forgot, there’s only 2 stages, this is very simple:

1. white space, where you throw in / put in info and stuff and try to make sense of things

• (some ppl like to use the word ‘processing’ or w/e other similar things)

• a better word is just call ‘f$$$ mess’

2. refinement, beautifying, actually useful / helpful - meaningfully pristine & nearer to ideal - good, finally good, finally helpful, finally designed

• that’s #1-4 at top
