Sticky note too small issue

The problem of “Sticky note too small to write on…” while doing Writing Method on a small tag in the preparation stage of KJ method.

• The information obtained by “exploring within yourself” is already stored within you, so just put the handle on the sticky note.

• In contrast, information obtained from “explorations outside yourself” (user interviews, reading, etc.) is not stored within you

  • I can’t remember if I just put the handle on.
  • So, as an alternative to memory, the desire to “make a note” at a level of detail that can be recalled occurs
  • It’s one thing to make detailed notes, it’s another to make handles on them and write them on sticky notes.
    • It is not reasonable to put “information that should be properly recorded and retrievable in its original form later” on a sticky note.
    • Such things should be made into electronic data and searchable.
    • Intellectual production techniques before computer dissemination should change to incorporate new technologies.

• Writing on a sticky note itself is probably “making a nameplate” or “summarizing” a huge amount of raw data.

  • On the other hand, it bothers me because people who are trying to learn will be confused if they’re told they have to do that as a first step.

• It’s like a Scrapbox page with detailed information, a summary, a nameplate, and a handle written as a title.

• What comes out of the internal exploration, conversely, is an image that corresponds to a line in Scrapbox

• I don’t think every page in my current Scrapbox is appropriate as a sticky note.

• When you’re using paper tools to write things out, there’s a finite limit depending on the size of the paper, and that’s not an option.

  • When I’m using digital tools to write things out, I don’t want to use “this is too long, let’s write it in Scrapbox first”.

• Wouldn’t you rather be able to write it in Scrapbox and import it?

  • Fusen size
  • information card
