You can spice up your daily journaling practice by using random prompts. The good news is that it is very easy to implement it in your Obsidian vault. In this article, I will share my approach. My solution is inspired by Journal Prompts in Roam Research by Daniel Wirtz. The list of journal prompts I share is based on the 1000 Daily Prompts recommended in Daniel's article. If you are interested in my collection of journaling approaches check out my Evergreen Note on Note-taking Strategies and Their Practical Implementations . This is where I am collecting a growing list of different personal journaling strategies.

Over the past few weeks I have spent many hours thinking about my personal information security requirements and discussing pros and cons with others. My goal with this article is to clarify few concepts that have surfaced in these discussions. I want to help you find your way in the jungle of information security.

SEX IS GOOD. But as with all things, sex also has its "dark side". If you are not careful, you can get hurt. ROAM IS GOOD. I am a firm believer in Roam's vision. But as with all things... This article is about information security. While I will focus my discussion on roamresearch.com , my points are broadly relevant in today's online/digital world.

This is an evergreen note that I will be revisit regularly to develop a comprehensive list of note-taking approaches including their practical implementations in various software tools. This post will serve as an elaborate table of contents, including a brief introductory discussion on the importance of note-taking, followed by a high-level walkthrough of each method. Links to posts and videos with detailed examples and descriptions will follow over the coming weeks and months.

We live in a complex world. Our life is complex. This post will help you reflect on the cost of complexity.

Why is it that even your most honest and committed attempts to change, often lead back to the status quo? Why are outcomes so frequently pale compared to the vivid color of the aspiration? How can you avert the grip of your immunity to change? Imagine what would be possible if, for a change, you could live up to your New Year's Resolutions?

How much time, money, energy, etc. do you waste by solving the wrong problems ? What if you could get better at solving the right problems ? What's your Problem by Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg is one of the best books I have read on the subject of solving problems. He asserts, that it is critical that we pay attention to how we frame problems. If we misframe problems, we may be at risk of coming up with a solution to the wrong problem (i.e. a wrong solution) and wasting tremendous amount of time, money and energy or even worst, creating additional problems that may be even tougher to solve later on. The way you frame a problem determines which solutions you come up with.  By shifting the way you see the problem - that is, by reframing it - you can sometimes find radically better solutions.
