This person is extraordinarily motivated. Seems like it works for them - but it would be quite a commitment to do it even half as much.

Indeed, and then your entire commitment is tied to a single company.

This is why you use something like bookstack.

My personal wiki resembles the one in the article. I used to use Dokuwiki, but then I switched to Bookstack. Making an export/import script was easy.

Everything is selfhosted so you don't have to depend on a third party company. And I take daily automated backups ofc.

It doesn’t have to be hard. I started by writing down one thing that I had learned and that I might need to do again, but not soon enough that I was likely to remember. I think my first document was a bulleted list of 5 items or so. That first page or two is often the hardest to get started on. Then I added another page, and another. Now I have hundreds of documents in my own notes and hundreds more in my notes at work.

I do similar things using Trello (for todo’s), Markdown files (for more complete info), Ponder (my own browser based scratch pad), and a notebook for Stray Thoughts (for capturing thoughts at bedtime or throughout the day).
