+00:00:03.340 --> 00:00:03.480
+Today I will share a nice workflow I have
+
+00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:04.900
+developed for stream of consciousness
+
+00:00:06.560 --> 00:00:06.759
+journaling. The goal of stream of
+
+00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:08.240
+consciousness journaling is to get your
+
+00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:10.080
+thoughts on the screen as effectively and
+
+00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:11.040
+efficiently as possible.
+
+00:00:12.780 --> 00:00:12.980
+These 2 features when combined reinforce each
+
+00:00:14.860 --> 00:00:15.060
+other and let you hear yourself think in a
+
+00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:16.460
+very efficient manner,
+
+00:00:17.220 --> 00:00:17.580
+increasing the number,
+
+00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:19.160
+quality, and types of thoughts you can get
+
+00:00:21.100 --> 00:00:21.260
+out of it. The tools I will be using for this
+
+00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:23.099
+are Emacs, KL line from the Hyperbolt
+
+00:00:24.080 --> 00:00:24.279
+package, centered cursor mode,
+
+00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:25.619
+Olivetti mode, and optionally,
+
+00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:27.240
+voice to text. Additionally,
+
+00:00:28.939 --> 00:00:29.119
+you can see my commands and key bindings on
+
+00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:31.680
+the right. I will start off by showing a
+
+00:00:32.119 --> 00:00:32.619
+typing demo
+
+00:00:48.120 --> 00:00:48.620
+about how my day went.
+
+00:01:12.900 --> 00:01:13.180
+There are certain functionalities for stream
+
+00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:14.960
+of consciousness journaling that are desired
+
+00:01:15.900 --> 00:01:16.320
+or detrimental to the process.
+
+00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:17.540
+Stream of thought functionalities,
+
+00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:26.240
+things I want. The ability to optionally use
+
+00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:28.020
+speech to text. I do this by using
+
+00:01:29.380 --> 00:01:29.880
+Nerdictation, a Python program.
+
+00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:32.480
+I am still experimenting with this as it
+
+00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:34.200
+changes the quality and types of thoughts you
+
+00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:35.720
+can get out of stream of consciousness
+
+00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:37.880
+journaling. I am still looking for better
+
+00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:40.240
+ways of doing this. The ability to easily
+
+00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:41.880
+organize and split off my thoughts by
+
+00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:43.540
+creating and manipulating outlines.
+
+00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:46.560
+Creating them in real time is needed for live
+
+00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:48.720
+journaling and allows for later editing
+
+00:01:53.140 --> 00:01:53.300
+really easily. I showed off some of these
+
+00:01:56.479 --> 00:01:56.740
+commands before. To just write words without
+
+00:01:57.540 --> 00:01:58.040
+worrying about format.
+
+00:02:00.160 --> 00:02:00.480
+To not worry about scrolling,
+
+00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:02.140
+I use centered cursor mode.
+
+00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:05.660
+To not worry about lines,
+
+00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:07.460
+I use the KOutline auto-filling
+
+00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:09.800
+functionality. To not worry about pressing
+
+00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:11.720
+Enter, and to have a nice looking journal
+
+00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:13.160
+with hard returns afterwards.
+
+00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:19.320
+Manually filling is needed with spacing when
+
+00:02:22.160 --> 00:02:22.660
+it is wrong. I do that with metaJ.
+
+00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:31.180
+Counterproductive functionality.
+
+00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:33.680
+Spell checking. While this is useful for
+
+00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:35.680
+editing, it is not useful for stream of
+
+00:02:36.220 --> 00:02:36.720
+consciousness journaling.
+
+00:02:39.020 --> 00:02:39.140
+Having this on or off conditionally while you
+
+00:02:40.760 --> 00:02:40.940
+are live journaling is a killer feature of
+
+00:02:48.040 --> 00:02:48.460
+Emacs. Reading slash editing the journal.
+
+00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:50.380
+Part of the value proposition of this is to
+
+00:02:51.420 --> 00:02:51.820
+listen to what you are thinking,
+
+00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:53.180
+so this is needed functionality.
+
+00:02:55.580 --> 00:02:55.680
+You cannot listen very well when you are
+
+00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:57.720
+speaking, and the converse is true as well.
+
+00:02:59.240 --> 00:02:59.440
+You cannot speak very well when you are
+
+00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:01.440
+listening, decreasing what you can get out of
+
+00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:04.240
+it. Features when editing or listening to
+
+00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:05.700
+your journal. Spell checking.
+
+00:03:07.780 --> 00:03:08.280
+I use the Spackage Spellfoo,
+
+00:03:20.740 --> 00:03:20.980
+but there are others. I use multiple panes to
+
+00:03:25.040 --> 00:03:25.440
+read and edit. I use a combination of follow
+
+00:03:27.940 --> 00:03:28.440
+mode and some of my custom functions.
+
+00:03:31.860 --> 00:03:32.360
+These are what I use right here.
+
+00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:53.480
+The ability to change the view specs of the
+
+00:03:59.340 --> 00:03:59.840
+document. Stuff like, toggling blank lines.
+
+00:04:08.300 --> 00:04:08.800
+Show the first heading of everything.
+
+00:04:18.620 --> 00:04:18.839
+You can also export the KOutline pages to
+
+00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:21.779
+HTML for other people to read or another way
+
+00:04:29.440 --> 00:04:29.940
+to look at it. Easy manipulation of cells.
+
+00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:34.160
+You use the Alt and arrow keys just like in
+
+00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:37.700
+Orm mode to delete cells easily.
+
+00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:47.180
+The ability to manually reformat KL9 cells in
+
+00:04:49.540 --> 00:04:49.760
+addition to auto formatting of the cells for
+
+00:04:50.860 --> 00:04:51.180
+when spacing looks off.
+
+00:04:53.900 --> 00:04:54.080
+MetaJ is nice, and auto-filling is also nice
+
+00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:55.420
+for having multiple pages.
+
+00:04:58.660 --> 00:04:59.020
+Why do I use these tools versus other common
+
+00:05:06.060 --> 00:05:06.200
+tools? K-Outline vs. Playtext Writing in
+
+00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:08.600
+outlines helps me easily structure my
+
+00:05:09.960 --> 00:05:10.280
+thoughts in a way that is easy to write,
+
+00:05:12.500 --> 00:05:12.800
+read, and edit. Org Mode vs.
+
+00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:15.600
+K-Outline Org Mode gives me lots of ways to
+
+00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:17.620
+structure my journal slash document.
+
+00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:20.100
+While this is great for a lot of things,
+
+00:05:21.540 --> 00:05:22.040
+for stream of consciousness journaling,
+
+00:05:24.960 --> 00:05:25.140
+this causes decision fatigue and loss of
+
+00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:30.720
+concentration. Types of questions I get when
+
+00:05:31.960 --> 00:05:32.460
+structuring an org-mode document?
+
+00:05:35.080 --> 00:05:35.400
+Do I keep everything in a heading or below
+
+00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:36.600
+the heading in paragraphs?
+
+00:05:38.080 --> 00:05:38.240
+How do I handle new lines?
+
+00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:40.520
+Do I just use visual line mode with no hard
+
+00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:42.880
+returns? Or if I make hard returns,
+
+00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:45.300
+on what line number do I do them?
+
+00:05:50.080 --> 00:05:50.460
+More visual line nodes in org-mode documents
+
+00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:53.160
+like a potential org ID in your property
+
+00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:57.940
+stores. While a lot of the above is really
+
+00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:00.060
+nice if you are making something like a
+
+00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:02.060
+website to present to other people,
+
+00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:04.340
+these features are counterproductive to
+
+00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:05.540
+stream-of-thought journaling.
+
+00:06:08.900 --> 00:06:09.200
+Org mode is also top-notch for other things
+
+00:06:11.780 --> 00:06:12.280
+such as GTD. I don't think org mode has
+
+00:06:13.820 --> 00:06:14.280
+bindings to create child,
+
+00:06:15.460 --> 00:06:15.960
+same-level, and parent cells.
+
+00:06:19.340 --> 00:06:19.600
+Centered cursor mode versus scroll lock mode
+
+00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:22.960
+built-in. Scroll lock mode changes its place
+
+00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:28.380
+when you move the cursor from the bottom or
+
+00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:30.280
+the top of the page. Centered cursor mode
+
+00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:33.680
+will reliably fix itself to the center when
+
+00:06:36.280 --> 00:06:36.780
+the cursor position is not there.
