📝 VIDEO OVERVIEW
If you've been looking to enhance your note-taking game, struggling to connect your ideas, or simply eager to cultivate your own unique thoughts, you're in the right place. Inspired by the enlightening article "You and Your Mind Garden" from Ness Labs, I'm here to spill the beans on growing your mind garden.
Think of your mind as a garden 🌱🌳, craving care and attention to flourish. We'll dive into three essential stages: cultivating curiosity, growing knowledge, and producing new thoughts. Learn how to seed your mind garden with quality content and time-travel through older books for fresh insights. Discover the power of curiosity-driven note-taking and how to make each note a standalone gem.
And finally, let's talk about producing new thoughts. Your mind garden isn't a forgotten junk drawer-it's a fertile ground for innovation. Explore the art of consistent note review and bi-directional linking to unlock a treasure trove of connections.

Make time to review my notes and thoughts is key. I lack that but will implement

Thanks man!
"Connect and edit similar notes while writing, finding at least 2 connections. That's how Niklas Luhmann did it." And - Don't separate writing from thinking and writing from producing
I tried diving into my notes but hit my head on the desk. Next time, I'll review and read then instead.
Thank you for the video, it's inspiring! I'm looking forward to seeing your garden walkthrough and getting even more ideas 🙌🏻

I learned about something called the commonplace book, it's a similar concept to the mind garden

Hey. Yeah it is similar. But with a mind garden, the goal is to write notes in your own words and connect the notes (like to the Zettelkasten method). Where a commonplace book is more of a collection of other’s ideas for reference. I do both actually. I’ve got a CP book (in Craft) as well as a place for notes in my own words. I like to go back and reference my CP book then write about the quote in a new note but linking the quote using bidirectional linking. Hope that all makes sense!

Thank you!
I've watched many videos in youtube which is related to zettelkasten and similar pkm. My impression is that, i think those methods including mind gardens, it is about how to gaining new idea from abstract ideas. This is good for those who works or interested in ideas or social science. However, as scientists or engineers, these methods seem don't work well because we are developing concept or idea based on empirical or mathematical perspective, not from ideas. However, it may be useful to recall or remember some facts. Maybe, for your future video you can discuss about this issue and explain how the scientist (eg. natural scientist) and engineers get benefit from this pkm. Thank you..

I know you make a whiteboard shareable but the experience is going to be different. Viewing whiteboards on mobile is not the best experience and can be hard to navigate. It's something to look in to though.
okay, but what about mind goblins?
