hyuki YukiFor newsletters, web serials, books, etc., there is a flow of preparing sentences that will be used as materials, so we can use a fixed tool such as Outliner, and there is no inconvenience in managing them in a hierarchical structure. However, it is difficult to handle ideas that “pop into my head” when I am working on those projects. Scrapbox is a great place to store them.

Why do I have trouble dealing with ideas that pop into my head, often because they don’t belong to any one project, they are fragmented, I feel like I’ve thought of something similar before, sometimes I want to write them down in association with a specific reference or image or formula… …and because I’m not sure of the conditions under which to organize it.

It is impossible to organize them systematically without knowing how to handle them, without knowing how they will eventually be organized, and without knowing what I might come up with in the future in relation to them. I feel that Scrapbox takes care of that quite well. A tool to organize without organizing. https://twitter.com/hyuki/status/1308693567515181056?s=21
