By the way- I should probably put this somewhere else, but when you are dealing with English names, you get good packing with the following division:
AB C DEF GHI J KL MNO PQR ST UVWXYZ
Don't believe me? Try it! You'll be amazed how evenly names fill into it.
Now. I've described the major segments that I use:
* P&P - purpose and principles * Speeds - speed thoughts * SMOC - subject map of contents * POI - point-of-interest studies * RS - research * REF - reference * PJ - project * I - index * Cht - cheat sheets * A/S - abbreviations, shorthand
I now want to describe segments that I am EXPERIMENTING WITH. That is, what MIGHT WORK.
Remember: There's NO BINDER POLICE. And there's NO ENORMOUS INSTITUTION telling you what is cutting edge and what is not, what you can research and what you can't, and who will ignore you without proper credentials. Nothing of the sort. (And if there were, you may have good reason to ignore it or no.)
So make shit up, and post to the web the results of your experiments. At the very least, email me. I'm interested.
The FIRST experimental segment is "X".
That enables you to experiment within a segment, without worrying that the rest of your notebook system will fail.
The special thing about "X" pages is that they are temporary, and it signals to you: "DO NOT LINK TO THIS PAGE!" Because it might be gone later. It's extra-volatile. BOOM! Your notebook just went up in flames! AUGH!!!
If you find that you are relying on your experimental pages later on, than that's pretty good. That means it isn't really experimental any more. Just white out your X's, or cover them up with a big blob of ink, or turn the X into a star, or something like that.
Now, there are four particular experimental segments I am working out, lately:
* CEP - chronological episode * TD - topical deliberation * DD - data dictionary (definitions) * L/T - lists & tables (high info density)
We'll go over each in turn:
