Everyone Needs Their Own ThinkingSpace

Everyone Needs Their Own ThinkingSpace.

How Will Keeping A Notebook Help You Hack Your Life?

They should probably have Multiple Thinking Spaces

• a Private Notebook
• a Digital Garden which others can read
• for Tending Your Inner And Outer Digital Gardens

Why not just join a shared/community ThinkingSpace?

• because everyone's context is different: you need to develop your own Point of View
• you can't count on a shared space always being there: Freedom of the Press is Guaranteed Only to Those who Own one

This becomes a base for Webs Of Thinkers And Thoughts.

Another spin:

• I think our mind is a swirling cloud of thoughts/ideas/beliefs/wants
• those “nodes” aren’t organized in a pretty hierarchy but rather by relatively noisy Association/linking (Associative)
• we’re often spinning off variations of nodes or seemingly-disconnected new nodes, both intentionally/consciously and not (divergence)
• the nodes we remember tend to be Associated with other sticky nodes
• the sum total of these nodes could be thought of as a not-coherent World View – model of the universe
• Sense Making/Decision Making/ActionTaking typically involves simplifying that mess into a more-coherent sub-model (Convergence)
• therefore I believe Thinking Tools needs to embrace that process of association, divergence, and convergence.
