Helps to reign in the inner dialogue. At some point, a soft, friendly voice was discovered. She'd tell me to be nicer to myself. Seemingly we're 3-4, maybe 5 ppl inside this skull. Lately she changed into a nice granny and I found that it would be nice if she became my dominant self. The current dominant self is all about herself, addicted to gaming, distracted, annyoing and anxious, and yearns for the end of life wh…
This is awesome. I love this kind of stuffs, especially when it involves pen and paper. Reading the article, and seeing the dates on the notebook, made me felt bad. The author did realize the logic of a better dating system than we use everyday; the Big-endian is, to the best I know, easily sortable, sequential, and likely to be understood by all other cultures. In normal conversation (either for business or personal…
> Why do I keep them all? I really don’t know. But they’re fun to make and fun to look back at… even if the tower is getting a little unwieldy.
This collection is impressive and seems, from what author says, like it's a byproduct of a process and not goal in itself. I think its good to keep 'em this way.
I 'discovered' big-endian dating for myself as early as using first computers and been using them consistently over the years. It just sorts so well. I don't even use hyphens and eyes are trained to see year, month, day in 20230823 pretty quick. Used to add time with _ like this: 2023082_2340, now it is 20230823-2340. Generally I tend to always tag notes & sketches with date/time pretty much. > Why do I keep them all…
For time I'm considering going base-6, base-36 or base-60 with astronomical midnight as 0, a 40 minute precision is good enough for me, matches my portable sundial, goes better with polyphasic sleeping and makes time more spacious

During the Renaissance/Enlightenment, there was a lot of discussion among intellectuals on how to best keep notebooks/journals. A widely used system was to carry a small pocket notebook which was filled logbook style, with things entered as they came up. The material from the pocket notebook would later be transcribed to topically arranged journals. I believe I've read reference to this practice going back to Classic…
I've never found any personal benefit in the moment using them, I'm not sure if 6 months is not enough or for whatever reason they don't work for me.
They are okay, but exist mostly because American insist on using a terrible MM-DD-YYYY format usually and while DD-MM-YYYY makes more sense it'd be confusing while Americans continue to use MM-DD.
Similarly, imperial units are terrible 12 inches to foot, 3 feet to yard. Fractions of inches for small lengths...
And British driving on the left. A hold out that complicates the entire worlds roads and car production.
