A new Tinderbox "LifeBook" document

I got way back into Tinderbox this week. It's not like I ever actually stop using Tinderbox, (the blog is built using it, for example) but I do get distracted by other tools for a while.

Other than for managing this blog, the Tinderbox document I've used consistently is my "Daybook". I started keeping this Daybook, which is a sort of journal, since before 2008. I wrote a short walkthrough in 2018.

At one point, I tried combining the blog and daybook files, but things got muddled and I lost interest. Eventually, I split them again.

Well, yesterday I started a new Tinderbox document, from scratch, and I (optimistically) named it "LifeBook.tbx".

The plan is to once again keep everything (or mostly everything) in one giant document.

I have structured it so that I write all notes in a single YYYY/MM/DD/Note outline. By default, each note is of type, "Journal". But, I can easily change any note's "Prototype" to something else, so that it behaves differently. For example, I have a "Meal" prototype. I can then collect (using Agents) and analyze my meals over time, without needing to maintain a separate outline just for meals. Same thing with my Weight log or contacts or "permanent" notes. I find that having to "go find" an outline before writing in it often prevents me from bothering to write things. Now, I just hammer away in the day's outline for everything.

Today, I plan to explore the idea of bringing the blog back into this document. The idea is that I can be in the day's outline, write some notes, and by checking a box, that note will automatically be included in this blog. See An urge to combine my Tinderbox files from earlier.

Wouldn't that be neat?
