and the 120 that were caught falsifying 30k breath tests. And harassing people at funderals. And the auckland cop that was a gang informant. There's never a reckoning.

I think I'd have gotten lost in the sauce if I hadn't had some clear directives that I wanted from the project. That said, I did enjoy a *lot* of sauce.

It's not that there was any collusion, you understand, it's just that at the most senior levels of the force everyone independently did what they understood needed to be done

• A daily scratch file works for me.
I initially used a monthly file to jot new notes, knowledge, and ideas, but switching to the 'daily note' system with a very loose structure let me log training sessions, quick tasks, and journal notes in one place.

The bells and whistles of Obsidian and its ecosystem would probably be a trap for me if productivity was my only stated goal. But I'm letting myself simply enjoy playing with it, writing queries in dataview, refining templates, playing with the new Base functionality. It's fine to have fun. (6/7)

• Obsidian has been great for me.
I love its many affordances, and its plugin ecosystem. I love that I've got my vault synced across three machines including my mobile. To me that's worth the cost. I love that I'm mostly dealing with markdown files. (5/7)

• Let it grow organically, including "mistakes".
While I did use online guidance regarding setting up a digital Zettelkasten, I tried not to worry too much about growing with perfection. The landscape should remain mostly stable once it has been set. (4/7)

• Separate thoughts from reference.
The Zettel's value is in creating a network of contextual thinking, not in being a small wikipedia. I eventually forced myself to write thought-like titles and lead paragraphs for every permanent note, and that has added clarity. (3/7)

• Create with eventual use in mind.
I have a tendency to act like a packrat and hoard whatever crosses my path. Collecting stuff for its own sake is fine, but I feel better if it might conceivably have a use someday. I'm still working on this lesson. (2/7)

Yeah, I mean, yeah. It's just a fun visualisation that's a bit bigger/longer than a GIF, I might just have to post the thread with just a screenshot instead.

It's under 50mb, it's less than 60 seconds, it's mp4, resolution is cropped... that should be enough, but it doesn't seem to be?
