I’m rediscovering the use of a blue SAD light for productive works/study time.

Also Newton’s cradle is good for setting a beat

    Ah oui t’es un jlailu toi aussi, j’avais pas remarqué.

    Thanks for your answers, I’ll have a look at the videos. I do love my obsidian Zettel for one useless function: The graph view that looks like a brain with synapses etc 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Neither did I realize you were too ;)

      Obsidian has a lot of qualities. It’s just that… I find it was incredibly overwhelming when I first installed it. I spend an entire week just getting familiar with it and learning its base procedures. In comparison, getting familiar with a pile of index cards and a fountain pen took me… a few seconds.

      And then everything is flat on a screen, and intangible and stuck withing that limited screen. You can’t touch it, you can’t easily put it in whatever order — or disorder — you fancy or drop it wherever you want. I like to spread my cards on a couple tables and then mix them as ideas and connections start to fuse. I also enjoy flipping through those cards like I would flip through the pages of a book (it’s generally when the most interesting surprises will happen) much more than I appreciate being able to Ctrl or Cmd-Search for an exact keyword.

        The day I find a cabinet like that at the local “marché aux puces” I will probably do a paper Zettel as well. It’s beautiful and fulfilling.

          Allow me to correctly rephrase that sentence of yours: “the day you find a cabinet like that at the local “marché aux puces” you instantly send me a message to ask me if I want it”. Which I am, and I will thank you wholeheartedly, even though I had no idea where I could put it in our small apartment ;)
