I have argued my question and told you my opinion on self logging and quantified self. I don't understand what else I should be asking.
I personally am a strong advocate of note-taking and agree with your post above. I myself have collected notebooks, and now they rest on a shelf gathering dust since I don't do anything with them except flip through them for nostalgia and look at my drawings/sketches.
I use Obsidian to collect the information I'm interested in and try to connect them together and I can research and connect the dots to form new ideas and I find the value in just connecting the ideas.
Collecting and not using notes can be as therapeutic as those notebooks with mandalas to color.
- ColinWright 5y agoBased on what you say here: > I have argued my question and told you my opinion on self logging and quantified self. I don't understand what else I should be asking. I feel like I've explained clearly why your initial reply has been down-voted, why people have asked you for clarification, and how that could all have been avoided. So I guess I have nothing further to add on that issue. I find your comments about your note-taking interesting ... I wish you had given them in your initial reply, because then it would have been a top-level, information-rich comment. But I assume you had your reasons for replying as you did. Thank you for the clarifications ... I think this discussion is complete.
- wtf77 5y agoThanks, and BTW I never asked about why I was downvoted. People downvote just because they don't like my question because it sounds controversial? It's fine. This obsession with quantifying everything - life,likes, views, karma, upvotes, downvotes, page view, fitness data,health data - is typical of the mentality of the Lords of Silicon Valley. Thank you Morozov for enlightening me.
