I’ve already been doing the work anyway, so I’ve updated my NaNoWriMo profile to reflect the research and writing work I’m doing on a book related to note taking and its historical traditions. I’m writing it using my commonplace book and Luhmann-esque zettelkasten as tools.

@chrisaldrich A favourite Darwin quote:
…I am become most deeply interested in the way facts fall into groups. I am like Crœsus overwhelmed with my riches in facts.
—Darwin to his cousin WD Fox, 8-Feb-1857

@richardcarter What a great find! And people are tremendously good at categorizing things, aren’t we?
@chrisaldrich People categorise things in very different ways. So I tend to think people are very bad at categorising things (because they categorise them differently to me).
