Hearing of dissatisfaction with Scrapbox

• Digging into my wife’s statement about wanting to “do liquidation.”

  • Scrapbox has a “let chaos be made to speak” part, so it seems weird for people who want to get rid of that chaotic.
  • What is this “organizing”?
  • big picture overview I want to
    • Different from [Classification.
  • Not that I want to be classified.
  • Sometimes classification is used in the process of understanding the big picture, but the goal is not classification, but rather the big picture. - Understanding the big picture is not classification.

• To get the big picture is to know “what kind of things there are and how much of them there are. - Know your portions

  • I want to [area classification

• Not classification Physical arrangement.

• Anything that can’t be classified as either a book or a toy should be somewhere in the middle.

  • If you put it in the book section, above the toys, that’s all you need to do.
    • The bat problem is caused by crisp classification, and it is better not to do it.
  • Associated with Location instead of labeling # Location
  • put away That’s the image.
  • You want to make the stickies a little more grouping than what you can get with the KJ method.
    • The current Scrapbox has stickies lined up, but I can’t do anything from there.

• A restless, though not troubled, mind, pith, exactly good-for-nothing (e.g., in terms of quantity or quality).

  • Customers don’t understand what’s at stake.

• Not inconvenient.

• I don’t have trouble getting things out.

• I don’t need to know exactly where everything is, but “where did that go?” but if you can remember “that area,” you will be more motivated.

  • You can shrink the scope of your search.
  • It’s “somewhere in this room,” and that’s not motivating.

• I understand that there is a great need for physical objects, but in the case of electronic data, you can narrow the scope by doing a search (e.g. for someone using a search engine), so why not?

• Similar to the difference between an electronic dictionary and a paper dictionary, in the process of searching for the desired object, the map is updated by looking at the surrounding objects

  • Electronic dictionaries are direct and only give you what you want.
  • If you just want to get to what you’re looking for, it’s faster that way.
    • I want to Map Update.

• Since doing a search means that a list of things that contain a certain keyword will come up, shouldn’t things in the vicinity be in view in the sense that they “contain a common keyword” of some sort?

  • Are you saying that just the fact that it contains keywords is too inaccurate?

• Large variation

• Dictionaries are organized.

  • Well-formatted.
  • Dictionaries could be organized because the target is one type of information: “word meanings”.

• Search results are too unconnected.

• I don’t know where to put what I see.

  • Cognitive burden in putting search results on the map is high.
  • cognitive burden is large, it is thrown away.

• The problem is that the search results page is cluttered.

• If it’s “Here’s a list of all the red things in this house,” there’s too much information to map, so you have to squint and throw it away.

• I want to decide what is important to me.

• ‘I want to make it easier to focus on what’s important to me at that moment.’

  • What kind of things are important varies from time to time.
  • Therefore, we need to prepare information design to make it easier to focus at the time.

search (e.g. for someone using a search engine) - concierge - recommendation

- [[Arrangement and Location]]
