The habit of starting all writing in the daily note reduces friction and stress - Key understanding of a good (daily) pkm - It is just easy, you don’t have to think where stuff goes. Journaling in itself reduces stress Journaling is healthy for mind and body - If I like it (and want to reuse it) I can put the information in a more permanent place - Play-space, solves high barrier. Prototype and just write. - Logging progress in the daily journal creates the possibility to see progress Start a new habit with something simple, there will be a bigger change of success - Weekly Review (monthly, quarterly, etc, see Getting Things Done)

For daily notes to have lasting value they must be tagged and linked - If not tagged, the daily note becomes a black hole where information just disappears. There is just too much information to be useful. most information is useless or redundant. filter out everything you won’t make notes about - information disappears if it is not reused again, later Only actively engaged and repeated information is remembered
Use spaced repetition as a productivity tool for ideas noted in the daily note that have no current links?
