I have a bunch of thoughts after reading “Build your metadata library” 202301291444:
- Most things in my life that I do casually, like watching sports, listening to music, reading articles, etc., I can track, and therefore continue to reward myself for doing what I’m already doing. I can also use tracking to incentivize myself to do what I know I should be doing but don’t feel like doing at the moment.
- I have a very constructed method of tracking the articles I’ve read. And I’m not happy with it, particularly because it requires disrupting my reading flow by opening an article I’m already reading in Instapaper first.
- I have several tools that I’ve used and are specialized for a specific purpose, but I don’t have a centralized source that I can collect all of them (and then use to review what I’ve been looking at every day). I’ve tried to do this by having some ad-hoc scripts that I can manually run and then copy-paste into my personal notebook, but this takes too much effort to do consistently.
