At some point, a couple of years ago, I got enough solicitations to know more about my life, so I decided I’d just write it down. Use the exercise to process my own memory, and maybe figure some things out.

But what does that even mean? :dizzy_face:

In a lot of ways, I think setting up my information infrastructure for long-term stability is what does it for me: I’ll now have more time to process and write, and that is essentially how my story is told; but I’m jumping around my personal timeline as interest and environment dictate.

:thinking:

Yeah!

Notes for review

Ah, this is a fun way to tell my story: The notebooks

I was beginning to wonder if these artifacts had power in them still, and they do! I’m able to navigate the maze of my mind’s library and find bubbles of time frozen on each page.

I’m destroying them.

One by one, I’m digitizing the information, converting it into signals so… I can continue to access them? Make sense of it?

I am anchored to a geography dictated by this box of notebooks. Once converted, I will be unanchored. That is my goal.

I’ve moved on from physical notebooks, though I still produce a lot of paper notes. One challenge is keeping up a routine of transcription. The value is difficult to hold in mind, but I know that when I’m on top of transcribing I’m in a good position. Same with inbox zero.

Writing to myself in self-dialogue has been great for these notes. It is obviously open to others, but I do not really concern myself with making this a conversational site with anyone else.

Rather, I use this site to distill my notes into understandable narratives, which I then share elsewhere.

This is how I tell my story.

Eventually, it will solidify into distinct media artifacts, but that is a future concern.
