How I manage information and knowledge. (Work in progress.)

The scope seems to have grown too broad, as the boundary between knowledge management and an attitude toward life(?) has become blurry.

## Managing knowledge and information

- Read books and take notes in [my wiki](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/My%20wiki.txt) (see [Books I've read](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/Books%20Ive%20read.txt)).
- Keep following information in fields that interest me: <Feedly>, <Twitter>, <GitHub> release notes, newsletters, <Reddit>, Hacker News, podcasts, [YouTube](https://wiki.g15e.com/pages/YouTube.txt), etc. Avoid real-time communities where possible (excessive socializing, unwanted fame, and so on).
- Discover new information in fields that interest me: <Google Alerts>, <Google Scholar Alerts>.
- When I discover new information, find a channel through which I can keep following similar information.
- Connect the notes in the wiki to one another.
- Update outdated knowledge:
	- Even if I have a familiar way of doing something, search for a better way or discuss it with a [LLM](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/Large%20language%20model.txt).
	- Use <Deep research> to learn about recent developments in things I studied before.
- Look up things I am curious about: search, [LLMs](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/Large%20language%20model.txt), start a <Deep research> task when I wake up and take a shower while it runs.
- Let my mind wander through all sorts of thoughts in spare moments (before bed, while walking, or eating alone).
- Deliberately go for walks: get off the subway one stop early and walk, or simply take a walk.
- Record fragments of thoughts in the wiki (use the <iPhone> Action button to capture them quickly).
- Refine connected notes into coherent articles (see [Articles I've written](https://wiki.g15e.com/en/pages/Articles%20Ive%20written.txt)).
