I'm definitely overthinking this but I'm looking for some inspiration. Mostly I try to use a bullet journal but I've just set up a new laptop and found it nice to write tasks like "compare email clients" as I'm going in a simple .txt file dot point list. Normally I would transfer these to my Bujo but it's kind of nice to type and have them there. Then no single source of truth though.

On a similar note, I often find myself bookmarking/saving lots of links and posts tonread later but never do. What systems and tools do you use to go back and review these?

Again, definitely overthinking it :).

@ferriera_trevi YMMV depending on your file formats. My notes are mostly plaintext. For reviewing random notes in different files whose contents are not super urgent, I have a script that iterates over all the files in a folder, opening files one at a time for review, skipping files that have a special phrase on the last line. If the phrase is in the middle of the file, that means the file was reviewed up to that point.

@abstractsun Ooo sounds fancy! Is that just a bash script or something else? What program are you viewing your files in?

@ferriera_trevi I'm using a bash script which calls vim as a child process in the terminal. Most text editors support invocation from the command line to open a file at a given line number. Graphical text editors are trickier to automate because their lifetime is generally independent from the terminal process and/or they log a lot of junk you don't care about to the terminal by default, but it can be done.

@abstractsun I may end up making my own bash script for this with vim. I'm tempted to dive back into Emacs for my digital notes but that seems like a timesink. I have been trying out Obsidian but it's interface and the markdown format feel clunky to me and I don't love that it's not FOSS despite it using plaintext and being community supported.

@ferriera_trevi Maybe you could check out #logseq. It's a bullet point note-taking app like you described, foss, and supports org-mode. Plus, all of the files are saved as plaintext, so you can still run them through a script, too.

@Jed_Hed Thanks! #logseq looks like it might be just what I'm looking for! I think the last time I tried it I was 1. Deep in the weeds of setting up Emacs perfectly 2. Looking mainly for a mobile Org friendly app to sync with Emacs, not a desktop replacement, and struggling with original Orgzly and 3. Hadn't really started bullet journalling so hadn't gotten used to a daily journal type workflow.

@ferriera_trevi I am likewise somewhat lukewarm on Obsidian. It has nice tooling, but I came at it with the expectation of it being like a general purpose text editor, and it isn't designed for that. Some people really like it, though.
