Mentioned on Tom Critchlow’s website tour was Venkatesh Rao’s ‘calculus of grit‘. (Gotta say, finding some of these terms for basically ‘doing stuff on your website’ a teensy bit overwrought… but fair play, naming concepts does give you something to refer to and discuss).
I’ve not read the full article yet, but sounds like it’s a way of tending to the garden of your wiki.
It boils down to:
- release work often
- reference your own thinking
- rework the same ideas again and again
I’m trying this out at the moment – putting thoughts in the stream, linking them back to ideas in the wiki, and updating those wiki pages as I go along. Going alright so far.
I feel that I do this with my space. I often reference past posts. However, I wonder if a wiki would be better. I did tinker with the idea in regards to Wikity, but I ended up bringing that content back into my site.
