Let me share my note taking and journalling approach.

I create a GitHub repository and create a markdown file and then I create numbered markdown headings for each entry. For each entry I journal my thought. I try trigger the same idea in myself from reading the thought.

When I get to 100-400 entries I create a new repository and repeat the process.

My computer journals are all created and published in the open on GitHub you can find links in my profile. I am interested in futuristic computer integrations and parallelism.



Why create a new repo and not a new file? I would have thought it more heavyweight, but maybe it helps organise?


I figure I have one opportunity to secure a reader who is interested in the journal. I see it as blogging.

I update the journal multiple times throughout the day or week. If someone visits only ever once they might not see entries I add during the week.

I only share the journal when I fill it up to 100-400.
