On keeping a zibaldone - L'Atelier Nomade

"Zibaldone means a heap of things or miscellany in Italian. They date back to antiquity and were kept particularly during the Renaissance and in the nineteenth century. Such books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables, proverbs, prayers, legal formulas …"

So, in our last post, we talked about Joplin, this open-source note-taking program created by the talented Laurent Cozic. 🇫🇷

One of us use Joplin for many years, first at work and later in personal computer too. Because we like it, we decided to tell about it today. 😀

We found a really interesting interview with him about the product philosophy behind Joplin, which we'd love to share with you.

In this interview, Laurent talks about why he chose to make Joplin open source, the focus on privacy and security, and what the future might hold for Joplin.

He also talks about how he uses Joplin for work and for personal use, and he has some recommendations for people who are just starting out with it.

You can read the interview here:

A last thing... Laurent works a lot on this project, and... for free! 👏

So if you'd like to send a donation to the project, you can do so here: joplinapp.org/donate (they accept Bank Transfer, PayPal, Patreon, Liberaply and Github Sponsor).

...or you can consider rating the app on Google Play or App Store. 🙂

Do you know JOPLIN? It's a nice European alternative to apps like Evernote, Google Keep, Notion, Microsoft OneNote.

Joplin is a free, open source note-taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. You can search your notes, copy them, tag them and modify them either from the app itself or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format, which is great.

It was created by Laurent Cozic 🇫🇷 back in 2016 as an alternative to Evernote. It's cloud service is hosted in Paris, France. They focus on privacy, security and transparency.

It's open source and offline-first, so you can always access your data on the device, even when you're not connected to the internet.

It's got all the basics you'd expect, and you can also attach images, videos, audio files and PDFs to your notebooks.

There's a huge community of people who have made extra features possible with their plugins.

It's also super easy to export and import your files, which is great if you're worried about vendor lock-in.

The handy web clipper extension lets you save web pages or take screenshots in the browser and save them to your notes.

So I have been using this #NoteTaking/ #Productivity tool for the last 2.5 year and it has transformed the way I work and think. People now believe that I’m an organised person.

Today, Tana launches to the general public and I invite you to take a look at it!

If you sign up through this link, you make me happy try.tana.inc/cank7mpamwpx.

More about how I use #Tana here and on my blog in the coming weeks.
Here's a view of my today page that helps me navigate through the day.

Pen: Sailor Mini
Ink: Vinta Inks Sirena

Something that I really love doing that combines my love of reading and study with my love of stationery, pens, and ink, is copying out striking quotes from novels that I’m reading.

I’ve always done this a little bit for my research, but it really reached a new level of just being something I do to engage with texts in a different way during the pandemic when I decided to read The Tale of Genji.

Writing down lines that stood out to me provided a way to both document my reading experience and also let the style of the translation get into my body in a different way than the purely visual act of reading.

Now I often recommend to people, if they’re looking for a simple step they can take to deepen their reading experience, try marking the passages that stand out to you, whether that’s with sticky tabs, a highlighter, or writing them in a quotes notebook.

Over time you’ll begin to notice themes emerge in what draws your attention. And you get the pleasure of just spending a little extra time with lines that you love.

I think it’s a nice, low pressure way to get a little more studious with what you’re reading while taking away the pressure of trying to identify what is important or what an expert would pay attention to.

QOTD: do you mark up your books or find external ways of tracking the parts that interest you?

The discussion from @penaddict of Altman’s process got me wondering about other accounts of note-taking.

Jillian Hess has this great post with insights from her readers: jillianhess.substack.com/p/how

What are some other accounts of everyday note-taking from those who don’t have the platform of titans of industry?
