Having tuned in a few times to watch https://twitter.com/AdamLearnsLive on twitch, I was inspired to take notes throughout my development process. What I noticed of Adam13531's note taking was they wrote down every question that came to mind as they worked down the rabbithole of learning that is software development.

For my own practices, I've added in a bit of an OODA loop process. My intent is to systematically balance between deciding and executing, focusing on accumulating knowledge towards achieving a goal.

When I'm stuck, or dealing with unknowns, the brainstorming in each of Observe, Orient and Decide enable me to gain some flow.

Later, I can observe where I had blindspots, or anchored to certain contexts or scopes. I'm noticing I could develop checklists to go through to avoid repeating those biases.

The second brain is emerging out of this. I keep these notes as a sibling project to all the software projects I'm interacting with.

When shooting my shotgun for finding more references, what I've done/know/questioned about a piece of code shows up too.
