I talk about notes, software, automating my tools, neurodiversity, & TTRPGs (inevitably). Come talk nerdy with me!

Today, I’ve written about how I apply #wayfinding principles about #colour to my calendar.

After all, we are navigating through our week and commitments… why not use visual cues to help with the planning and the doing?
Colour Makes My Calendar Work Smarter, Not Harder
Colour reduces cognitive load – whether you're navigating a subway or your schedule.

And as for #ttrpg and the joys of Play and Flow… I’ll get there. 😅

If you’re more interested in #PKM or #Obsidian, I’ve started by reflecting on having spoken with (literally) thousands of people about their note taking practices. This is a reminder I repeat often…
There’s No “Right Way” to Take Notes. There’s Just Your Way.
After speaking with thousands of people about their note-taking needs and habits, I've seen some patterns.

So if you’re interested in #accessibility and #wayfinding, you may enjoy this post about how a late night train ride late at home still inspires how I design and teach.

So, with that in mind… over the next month, I’ll be exploring a few topics. These include:

- #wayfinding and #accessibility in design for the built environment
- #PersonalKnowledgeManagement #PKM and likely some #Obsidian
- #ttrpg and other narrative games

Thanks for the tip! Saw that in VIP yesterday, but hadn’t had a chance to follow up. Busy day. :)

@sascha-kasper.com, would love to be added to that starter pack.
