Inspired by Zettelkasten and the Feynman Technique. I started taking ‘smart notes’ for any thoughts that come to mind, whether studying, working, or waiting for the morning commute trains.

Through these brain dumps, I hope to understand how I respond to the external world, connect dots and make decisions, in the quest to build a second brain 🧠, develop new ideas, and ultimately to live a more intentional life.

These notes are the expanded digital versions of selected entries from my physical notebooks, which I carry with me everywhere.

Topics I often think about:

Tools I use to create these notes:

  • Obsidian for editing & syncing notes across mobile devices
  • Emacs for text editing & coding
  • Quartz for publishing
