Personal Learning System, My Reading & Writing Workflow

My personal workflow for reading and writing.

Re-organization of my Writing

GitHub / Source Control Idea

Maybe document and diagram my workflows and store in a gh repo

Tools
- Scripts
- dotfiles
Version control changes

Reading

I read PDFs on my reMarkable tablet, which allows me to turn webpages into PDFs that I can then consume offline, annotate, store and upload to my site for broader reference.

Share my library. Read my notes on what I read.

See my Reading Workflow for a full description.

Chrome -> Pocket -> Zapier -> PDFMyUrl -> Dropbox
- If PDF, skip PDFMyUrl and save straight to Dropbox
- If Video and not article, ignore altogether

Writing

Tags I use to organize my thinking on various topics.

#inbox - Items I'm currently working on
- If it only has #inbox, it's a Writing Prompt that may turn into an article or a note.

#writing - all of my articles
- #writing/drafting - the articles I'm drafting right now
- #writing/editing - the articles I'm editing right now (drafting is finished)
- #writing/published - articles that have been published

#work/notes - Notes in my personal Digital Gardens
- #work/notes #publish - selected notes from Digital Garden that are available on my website

#talks - All the talks I've given

Improvements

Improve Whiteboard Snapper for whiteboard input
Measure words written or changed in #work/notes on a daily/weekly/monthly basis Measuring Personal Learning
- This should probably be the KPI for my system.
- Build my own GitHub contribution graph that I can monitor.
