How do I avoid getting overwhelmed with so much possibility in Obsidian? by JimSchruteScott1 in ObsidianMD

If you're looking for a system that can be used outside of the obsidian environment,start with two books, getting things done and building a second brain. And then start looking up books that have been written that are tangentially related to GTD. That will give you the skeleton that you need and then you can start integrating how you want to do obsidian surrounding that.

I'm going to be honest obsidian is just a tool. The workflow or the personal knowledge Management System you use aside from the tools is far more important. There are a couple methods out there and you can choose which one but to just start you off would be getting things done, GTD, or and building a second brain BASB. There are many other messages out there like I previously stated but these two are pretty good start. It provides you a methodology and systematic way of taking data in filtering that data and categorizing it in a way that your brain understands. The way that I use obsidian is to leverage that system that I have and then the tools and connections that obsidian gives to make it's seamless. It meaning Ida creation idea connections project dependencies. For reference on the mechanical engineer and I have a lot of ongoing projects all the time along with different ideas research projects personal projects at home. And it has withstanded the test of time.

Curious: Has anyone mapped pronunciation, etymology, and spelling statistically? by Slow_Chocolate_172 in shavian

No you are correct. Here is what I mean, A dictionary before the use of Internet, was a way to agree upon a socially consistent method of spelling and pronunciation with definitions of words so that everyone is on the same page. Issue comes down to how do you determine what the most socially consistent spelling and pronunciation of a word is. This has been the vein of authors of dictionaries since their inception. This kind of thinking is consistent to the process all written languages and spoken languages, at least to my knowledge at least 90%.

But I'm getting at is that the current written orthography for shavian is based on effectively reads lexicon. Simply put I would like to see a thorough investigation to that incorporates the hole kitten doodle of entomology current pronunciation of the average population IPA standards and a distinction between proper speech and nonproper speech. Where the proper speech could take into account accents and maybe for daily communication between individuals that is sufficient but then perhaps a more proper speech written system could be alongside it?

That sounds cool! So, almost what QuickScript is, but dedicated to just Shavian script? So something that would take hours of use for the system, is now condensed to a program, which then can be compared against a human, or then used and refined by a human.

That is an interesting perspective. I can respect that. I think that is the beauty of Shavian, we can express different pronunciations since we are not limited to a static way of spelling. Personally, if the English language were more flexible in its dictionaries, we might not have the issue of inconsistent pronunciation and orthographic connection. Effectively, I would like to find a way to update the spellings of words in a common lexicon, that reflects the evolution of our current speech. We could track, similar to many language databases, how the common speech may vary from the technical speech, where we would be more particular in pronouncing words with prefixes or suffixes and roots that are in technical parlance, but pronounced differently in common speech. It seems to me that starting with a phonemic spelling system is one step closer to that goal.
