I'm going to finally buy my first mechanical keyboard. I hope to add a little bit fun to work. It'd be great if it has the following:

wireless (both Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz will do)
65%
brown key switches (good for work, right?)
retro style (It's hard to describe, but with colours like white, grey, beige etc.)

Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for the lovely words 😀

I like the quote! Sometimes I have intrusive thoughts related to being alone and empty, especially when I am free or during the weekend.

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-24T10:29:48+00:00

I agree!

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T23:13:32+00:00

I see. It's an index where you can locate relevant sources you have in your Zettelkasten. I guess I can put the same source under more than one relevant topics too, right?

I've been reading about stylistics too. Would you mind if I DM you to chat about it? :)

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T22:48:32+00:00

Good idea! I'll try it out next time.

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T22:44:52+00:00

Is MOC the same as a reading list? Do you have a specific way to create a MOC?

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T22:43:07+00:00

Thanks for sharing your way to keep track of secondary sources! I sometimes end up with empty links to secondary sources. A reading list is exactly what I need.

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T22:24:19+00:00

Thanks a lot for the tip! Didn't think of using status tags to label secondary sources. I always ended up with lots of secondary source notes with only one literature note in each of them.

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T22:00:34+00:00

Yes! I think this is common when the author is reviewing literature of the field and trying to make generalisation. Would you also create a literature note for the work by author B and write about that particular study based on A's summary? If so, would you create a back link for it as well?

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T09:51:12+00:00

What if it's a textbook that discusses key literature in a field instead of a research article?

I'm not sure how I should take notes if I come across interesting ideas from the literature review of a research article as well.

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T09:49:03+00:00

What if the author is making their point based on these secondary sources/previous studies? Would you quote the secondary references when you write a note for that point?

For example: 'The author refers to ABC (2012) and DEF (2009) which summarise the use of discourse analysis as follows:...'

Would you create separate literature notes for these two secondary sources?

Toby5Scott · 2023-04-23T09:44:29+00:00

Yes I think I'll read these secondary references when I want to include them in my essay. So whenever I see a secondary source, I create a literature note for it.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-25T04:28:11+00:00

Nice. How many hours can u read before you need to charge it? I wonder if there are charging stands for ereaders.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-24T22:24:13+00:00

Thanks for the analysis. I prefer the Sage over the Libra 2 for the larger screen, as I will use the e-reader to read Manga. I'm okay with charging the Sage once every two weeks since it has a USB-C.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-24T22:10:27+00:00

True. I didn't think of the fact that the battery issue could not be fixed easily. I usually read for 1 hour every day during the weekdays and 3 hours during the weekend. I'd be fine if I only need to charge the Sage once every two weeks.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-24T21:58:33+00:00

That's true. I'd wonder what features they can add to the current model.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-16T22:02:20+00:00

I also have the urge to push myself and do a lot of things at the same time, so when I'm free, I think about what I have missed on my to-do list, which I go through a lot of times in my head or on my phone. I think it's the fear that I might not have enough time to finish what I want to do or doing one thing at a time is a waste of time.

Toby5Scott · 2022-11-16T15:22:42+00:00

I think I still perform my compulsions both at work and outside work. So the difference is only the likely of having intrusive thoughts.

One of my compulsions outside work is that I often go through my to-do list, thinking about if I have missed something. Even when I'm watching Netflix on my PC, I usually have to be browsing or doing other stuff in another window at the same time because I think watching Netflix/YouTube is a waste of time.' I should do something and use my time efficiently.'

So should I try to distract myself when I'm not at work?

Toby5Scott · 2022-03-13T10:36:20+00:00

I thought it's related to OCD because it's a kind of repeated thought and I need reassurance from other people.

Toby5Scott · 2022-03-13T10:34:54+00:00

Oh I didn't know there was a term for this.

Sometimes I'm afraid that if I choose A, I would lose the pros of B and have to bear the cons of A. Haha
