🗂️ The Day Cluster: Why I Use Multiple Daily Notes Instead of One

New post on neurodivergent-friendly PKM design:

- Separation of concerns (each note = one job)
- Zero decision fatigue (same structure daily)
- Visual navigation (links replace search)
- Progressive disclosure (start with 2 notes)

From overwhelmed single note → clear structure

@warrenweb Hi Doug Warren, I can see you’re working on a project that tackles some of the same challenges around self-management as I’m exploring. Really interesting to see your “day cluster” approach. I’ve just started developing KOMPAS myself – with a similar focus on working with human patterns, but from a slightly different angle. I’m curious to follow where you take this.

Thanks, @Torben!

The "working with human patterns" framing resonates—that's exactly the challenge I'm tackling too.

Looking forward to exploring KOMPAS more deeply and learning about your approach.

Will follow up properly soon!
