Much like a cottage garden, this digital space is messy, magical, and you never know what will pop up next.
Please start with one of these questions
- What is a Digital garden?
- What is a Zettelkasten?
- Why do I say My thoughts are a cottage garden?
- What are the Note types in MY gartenkasten?
- How to navigate the gartenkasten?
As a guest, you are welcome to explore this garden of thoughts.
If any of my thoughts inspire you, then much like a physical garden, you can take a 'cutting'. Take the thought with you into your own notes or life—and cultivate it, until it bears its own fruit and flowers.
Types of links
By the way...
- pink links either mean that the note is unpublished or private
- arrowed links go elsewhere on the internet
- green links are my own publicly published notes or pages (yes, you can view them).
Ohhhh, you like knowing hidden things, hey? Drop me a note, and I'll see if I'm happy to share by emailing you the contents, publishing it, or bursting your bubble by saying 'sorry, that's just a placeholder—my bad'.
Topics I like to explore
I love to collect hobbies, and I love to learn new things. So my gartenkasten is going to have random things in it.
Here are some things I hope it will contain:
- Identity
- Self-narratives
- Professional coaching
- Systems thinking
- Mental health
- Whimsy and cosiness as antidote to hustle culture
- Gamification
- Woowoo
- Language
- Reflections on stuff I've written or made
- ...anything else that tickles my fancy!
