write a script with a simple function: show me a random note
When I first installed this script, I figured it would become part of my weekly review. An infrequent, only occasionally useful exercise to remember notes I’d previously saved.
What I’ve found has been very different. I click the icon probably 20–30 times each day, and as a result my whole conception of the relationship between memory, ideation, and creativity has changed.
About half of the time I previously spent on social media is now spent looking at, modifying, and deleting old notes
. By quickly flashing notes in front of me, I’m able to make quick, intuitive, System 1 judgments about how to make them more discoverable or understandable, before my critical System 2 kicks in and starts nitpicking the spelling and punctuation
I want to remember as little as possible, not as much as possible
Every idea I’ve offloaded to my second brain for storage, frees up a little bandwidth in my first brain for thinking.
