Define Digital Gardening Clearly
- Digital gardening is distinct from blogs and curation roundups; it's a private creative space without performance pressure.
- Use your digital garden to cultivate interests and integrate thoughts, not just regurgitate consumed content.
Choose and Simplify Tools
- Use platforms like Obsidian for in-depth digital gardening and Arena for quick source dumping accessible anywhere.
- Simplify your system if overwhelmed and start taking notes immediately rather than perfecting the setup.
Manage Your Notes Effectively
- Accept that losing or forgetting notes is normal; not all notes must be retained.
- Use clear titling and tags to make lost notes easier to find through search or category browsing.
