Reasons for Starting Scrapbox and the Limit of Folder Organization
I started using Scrapbox because a friend introduced it to me. I was thinking about using it as a tool for organizing my thoughts. When I saw it, I thought it was quite good, so I decided to give it a try. Now, I'm the one inviting others to use it.
One of the great concepts of Scrapbox is the ability to manage things in parallel. I have always struggled with organizing folders because I have ADHD. I couldn't do the traditional "managing the management" approach. However, I think that's not really relevant. After using Scrapbox for a few days, I realized that the structure of my previous notes was flawed. It's a note-taking tool with a philosophy.
It's like having an infinite Twitter, but it's a bit different. It's a unique tool that resembles the workings of the brain. It's a tool for intellectual production, Memo on the Positioning of Production Tools. The techniques for intellectual production are a must-read, and this tool is a digital transformation of those techniques. It's like a version of Arthur Schopenhauer's "About Reading" philosophy, but for thinking and writing. There is a context to our thoughts, but it was missing in my notes. Ultimately, the quality of our input depends on our past input, so it's important to organize our thoughts.
