Dear Vytas, You have a talent to ask the right questions :)
Let me share an interesting article first, about how to get better at learning: https://hbr.org/2018/05/learning-is-a-learned-behavior-heres-how-to-get- better-at-it It describes many aspects of learning I learned (and maintain) through TW. Which are: * frame a problem or devide it in smaller pieces * describe a task/the solution * know, if you can solve it autonomously, using the docs/web or with help from others * know, where to look things up, find solutions fast * know, when to take a break * know, that the best ideas often come during the break (while jogging in my case) * realize, when something is good enough * recognize the value of feedback from others * know, when to say no * write understandable documentation * practice English * ...

It was developed over a long time, starting from the original TW example for task management <https://tiddlywiki.com/#TaskManagementExample> and integrating it with my Listreveal plugin <https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2Flistreveal> that adds nice functions to lists. Design thinking is popular today and in agile projects you always have a working product after a limited period of time. I tried to stick to those ideas and developed button after button, function after function, always adding to the software I used daily. Search, tag-filter, priorities, a deadline, sorted listings, a work report … After adding substantial value I occasionally released a new version and got invaluable feedback from other real users. Requests from other users led to additions like the archive or user filters. Birthe contributed a danish translation. Other users asked for further developments to get a real GSD software – that was the point where I had to say no. And I had to say no on other occasions to stick to the philosophy I had developed for myself, which is that I am most productive when I focus on only one single task. (The one in the Now-section of ToDoNow.) Developing new stuff without a clear use case like my recent card experiment <https://tid.li/tw5/test/flippy.html> can lead to improvements of older functionality, because I discover new things TW can do or I can do with TW. This was the case with the context tagging <https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#03%20Context%20Tagging> functionality of Listreveal, that received an update recently, so new tags can be added too. And as stated above: some of the best ideas came to my mind, while I was running through the woods. > > - Which tools do you use the most? > > *Notetaking:* I tend to prepare most content for other software in TW, because it is so easy to write well structured content (titles, subtitles, lists) in wikitext. Then you can copy clean and valid HTML-formatted text to office software, CRM, a blog, ... the most invaluable tool to assist with that is the EditorCounter <https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2FEditorCounter> that counts characters and saves my single page wiki in the background after every 200 characters. Also nice if your deliverable is a text of e.g. 2000 characters. (By the way, I could not have done this without studying code from Jed first.) The other plugin I always install immediately in new wikis brings the edit toolbar buttons to save or cancel and close <https://tid.li/tw5/plugins.html#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftelmiger%2FEditButtons> – again something I realized many people were missing, so I developed and published it. In all my main wikis I use *ToDoNow* to organize and plan some personal tasks. I speculated with Josiah about it’s user base several times, there are about 30 people we personnally know as users – so it might be safe to say it could be one of the more popular TW-based applications. It would be great to learn from your experience! > I am learning from it myself again writing these lines :) Thomas -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
