Of course, this is somewhat of an exaggeration. We are likely not _that_ forgetful, but as a principle I like the idea of it. I intend to implement this idea, and be more intentional about note taking.
Tool-wise this has implications, it means you need to be able to take notes anywhere at any time (hypothetically even while, or right after taking a shower).
Thoughts?
What it means: if you do anything of significance that you may one day want to refer back to: take notes.
Otherwise, assume you will forget and you’ll have to reread that book, or redo the meeting. In a professional setting this may include: meetings (group, 1:1, brainstorming), articles read, books read, or even ideas that come to you under the shower or while taking a walk.
Notes or Didn't Happen
A common question (also to myself) is: “what should I be taking notes on?”
Here’s a (perhaps) radical I’ve been toying with to answer this question succinctly:
Notes or didn’t happen.
Analogous to the “pics or didn’t happen” phrase often used about noteworthy (or unlikely to be believed) events.

Eugen Rochko199,430 is the number of new users across different Mastodon servers since October 27, along with 437 new servers. This bring last day's total to 608,837 active users, which is without precedent the highest it's ever been for Mastodon and the fediverse.
Jeff JarvisThis is a very good idea from @Danhon, for new orgs, universities, government organizations, and so on: each sets up its own Mastodon server to provide verified accounts for employees (which can be migrated elsewhere when no longer employed).

I wrote up my proposal for news organizations (and others) to provide trustable, verifiable accounts (as much as we can, in society) for staff: News/media organizations would stand up a Mastodon instance for staff-only, for example follow.washingtonpost.com (doesn't exist! Only an example!) follow.washingtonpost.com inherits the trust of its parent washingtonpost.com domain. Accounts from that instance are trustable, no public signups. https://newsletter.danhon.com/archive/4230/

KlausJust starting to see the benefits of our #thoughtworks instance
- Local timeline: find out what colleagues are up to
- Global timeline: Find out who colleagues are interacting with
- Domain as account verification (e.g. @mfowler )
- It's an onramp for corporate citizens otherwise tightly bound to enterprise SaaS
- Employees hosting software for each other is beautiful (hopefully sustainable, too)
Thank you @mheiber & @judeswae for keeping it going for years already now !
Florian Haas“All it takes to be a 10x engineer is ignore 90% of the problem” is a brilliant quote and I'd quite like to know who came up with it.
