I appreciate your methodical explanation of the system you have built! how long have you been using this system?
I used to do something similar in Vim and I had some JS I used to compile them into Markdown books. it was kinda useful but also over-engineered 😂 nowadays I just have a Notion doc where I keep an outline and then each month I move to a new doc so it is self-archiving 🤓
Industrial Engineer turned Full-Stack Developer. Fluent in Turkish, English, and Russian. Passionate about Go, Rust, Python, Linux, Neovim, and productivity tools like Obsidian.
But still, I needed to customize it to suit my mindset. So I started to prune unnecessary items from these ideas. Jumping from Editor to Editor wasn't a solution. So I started to minimize my notes by using templates.
I am writing about a specific topic (for instance, "#termux") whenever I learned new information or get a new idea. And merging my notes regularly, inspires me to create new tech articles. For example, every weekend I am merging my notes about a topic such as bash, Termux, rust, project-ideas, new technologies etc.
And also I am using the voice recorder (smartphone and voice recorder device) with the format like this:
Hello its 09-12-2024
The topic is "......"
I am recording this at "..."
This inspired me to take this note "..."
( Optional self notes : Read About It It, Research About it. Fix it , Hack it)
This is how to achieve it . "..."
This keeps me on the target although all the madness of life in my country and living around.
Control is an illusion but staying on the road is everything. All the productivity stuffs focus on the "life control". I focus on clarity, simplicity, and persistence. Nothing will be perfect, but I will be still on the road until I reach it.
Nobody wants to waste their times to try to understand complex and long articles. People just wants to learn new information and ideas in the simplest and quickest way. So break apart the complex ideas into smaller atomic parts is the best way to learn. When I assemble these small parts, it brings out the product I wanted to create.

I discovered the first principles of this system in this YouTube Video:
