You mention Slipbox several times and I kept thinking you were building up to an explanation, which didn't come.

So obviously I googled it and that's a rabbit hole I'm going to end up falling down, it seems like such a great way to organise a second brain, not too dissimilar to what I have been doing but stumbling across Andy Matuschak's example of how it can look in practice is fantastic, so thanks for this Braeden.

I'm naturally good at forgetting what I have committed elsewhere, if it's written down, I don't need to remember it anymore so I can let it go, but finding it again is sometimes an issue!

I put a link to my previous article that goes into more detail about what the slipbox method is. I know you already Google'd it but I appreciate your feedback and it can help someone else!

Hey Mark, thanks for your feedback!

It is a rabbit hole for sure! Using the slipbox it also helps me read with purpose, otherwise I feel like I'm just scanning my eyes over words.

Find stuff again as you say is still an issue for me! I'm working on it though and I'll write about how I approach it and what I've learned.
