| >Do NOT migrate to new tools Completely agree here. For better or worse (well, definitely worse), I've noticed that some part of my brain that loves list-making and re-organizing. This leads me to an impulse to be in a never-ending process of migrating from one tool to another, wind at my back with a new motivated epiphany about how to re-organize everything. Of course, when I say it out loud, it's nonsense, but moment to moment it doesn't feel like that's what I'm doing. I really love the wiki-style organization but I don't want to depend on a tool with features stuck to that tool. I want something universal, like text. Right now I'm using Simplenote and its killer linked notes feature, but I fear perhaps I've got a bit of lock-in there too. I at least believe in the ability to easily backup and migrate out of Simplenote, I think it's kinda portable. But I really think simple principles, like search don't sort, may cut through the unnecessary complexity that my brain loves to produce and administer. |
