Learning at Regroup in 2019

• Forcing the entry of a front sticky when grouping is not a good idea.
• Difficult to design UI to match that height when the keyboard is out on the phone.

Code name for the development of tools to improve intellectual productivity

Q: What ideals do you hope to achieve by creating ReGroup?

• Strengthening one’s intelligence
• 2018 note: ReGroup2018 called it a KJ method support tool, which is not appropriate.
  • Because I am not interested in following the original KJ method procedure.

Q: What exactly do you mean by “strengthening one’s intelligence”?

• The KJ method has been very instrumental in strengthening my intelligence.
  • The effect of “disappearing” by writing out
  • Increase in working memory capacity by expanding
  • Compression and chunking effects of bundling with faceplates
• On the other hand, overworking them to the limit has revealed some problems.
  • We can go further by creating tools to overcome this.

Problem 1: High cost of preparing sticky notes

• status quo
  • Handwritten on paper sticky note
  • Slides printed and cut at 25up.
• ideal
  • Digital data should be reusable.
  • Writing out against a paper sticky note would not be so convenient if it were digitized, but the fact that it is paper makes it difficult to reuse it.
• I want to reuse something I’ve made before.
  • What ever you make = not limited to sticky notes.
    • Rather, there is a greater need for slides.
• solution
  • import
    • My output
      • Slide PDF
      • Scrapbox
      • Past Writings
    • I want to swallow other people’s output too.
      • Other people’s Scrapbox
      • Book PDFs are also imported in a messy way just by putting them in.
      • Making leverage memos is even better.
        • Merge with [Incremental Reading
  • Discovery support from imported
    • search (e.g. for someone using a search engine)
    • sweet potato search
    • Similar Suggestions
      • Depends on the proximity of the KJ method.
        • KJ method is 2D vector annotation
      • I can get information on whether you used the suggestions on the map or not.
        • Active learning cycle goes around

Problem 2: Poor list ability.

• Limitations of desk space
  • Physical stickies cannot be scaled
  • Cannot occupy a desk indefinitely.
  • Cannot carry a desk
  • Preparation and cleanup costs
    • Metaphors for shifting viewpoints
• Cost of sorting
  • Just physically lining them up eats up a lot of time.
  • Not easy to try “different orderings.”
  • Bound to a certain order.
  • Digitize it and you can switch in an instant.
  • Can be presented incrementally. - Suggested additions to make a nameplate when the sticky notes are enormous.

Problem 3: Poor access to physical “bundles”

• High cost of physical manipulation of “bundling” and “opening bundles.”
  • It’s beneficial, but the cost is too high to do it.
• Bundling” is essential to transcending cognitive limits.
  • Benefits of “compression
• Digital folding required

confluence (of rivers)

• Can you join the leverage memo review system?

  • Leverage memo is a sticky note
  • Keep a link to the citation

• Can you join the motivation checklist?

  • A bunch of questions to convert tasks into “motivational units”

• Can you join with clean chatbot?

  • A System of Inquiry.”

• Can you join up with the speed leader?

  • Each page of the book is a sticky note

• Sticky notes are immutable.
