How I start more or less every book project using a zettelkasten.
"The first thing I do when starting a long-form writing project is create a 'Notes' file. This 'one long file' acts as a sandbox, a place where information, thoughts, title suggestions, rough TOCs, epigrams, good ideas, bad ideas, quotes, concepts, questions, and notes-to-self live together in playful symbiosis. Calling it 'a dumping ground for ideas' wouldn't be off-base."

Well, I have jumped off the #Obsidian train, at least for a month. Reasons? Too much #PKM DIY drag.
- Its too much cognitive load to use file prefixes to create my own objects
- I need Logseq type block references
- Building quick queries on the fly is a pain with dataview
- I need too many plugins for my use case
I decided to give #Capacities a go. It's not perfect, but the drag is considerably less.
I need my brain free to think, not design software!
I'll re-evaluate in a month.

It is more important than ever that the social web is not controlled by corporations. Today, Mastodon is taking another step towards its founding ideals: independence and non-profit ownership. We're transferring ownership of key assets to a new European not-for-profit entity, ensuring our mission remains true to a decentralised social web, not corporate control.
Need some reading for by the pool or by a fire (depending on your location in the world!)...
