I have about 30 TW that get regular use: - resources, where I keep plugins, macros, snippets, how to's, TWified fonts, etc for easy copy into other TW - Divination of all kinds is one of my passions, so I have TW for several different methods, notes, my own commentary, etc. Yi Jinmg, Geomancy, Numerology, Traditional Astrology, Cartomancy are some of the distinct TW I keep. - Writing a book on how to create your own divination system - using TW for content edit #2 because it's easier to move tiddlers around and add new ones than it is to fiddle with word documents - Using TW as a tool to sort - one of the processes I use is to take a metric buttload (~150L, BTW) of meanings and situations, and tag them with potential tokens. For example, the end of a relationship could be tagged with end and relationship. Once I've done this for all/enough of the meanings (I have a list of about 12k I'm working through at the moment), I can then start sorting the tokens into final tokens (cards, runes, what have you). Those final tokens become the cards/runes/bones/etc I then design. This makes it easy to have a meaning that shows up in multiple places (thanks to tags) to indicate different nuances. - The rules doc / setting details for my homebrew TTRPG. - Starting to work on an endless choose your own / text-based RPG based on FUDGE/FATE. It's sorting out the engine stuff that's the hard part - As the divination interest might indicate... I'm a spooky guy. I teach classes on Animism, divination, and magic of a bunch of varieties. Each of those classes has their own TW for notes, questions, observations, bits to add, etc. - I keep a materia magica - the tools, components, spells etc. I use magically. Essentially, a magical cookbook, with tiddlers for recipes as well as for ingredients and techniques. - Notes on various inspiring religious traditions and ideas (Shinto, Druidry, ATRs, other Animisms) - Writing a few grimoires - manuals for working with specific spirits and/or traditions. TW is perfect for these. - Big language geek - I am a conlanger (I CONstruct LANGuages) and member of Language Creation Society. I have TW for the grammar of my language, another as a dictionary (learning much from recent thread on dictionary slowdown), and for the conworld (CONstructed world) and conpeople that use my lang. - Notes on other languages I am learning / enjoy - currently, that's separate TWs for Finnish, Native American Languages (mostly Cherokee and Ute at the moment), Japanese, Korean, and Celtic (I speak Irish and Welsh, have an MA in Celtic langs, so...) - Writing a book on a/the Spider Goddess (have a thing for spiders - born 3wks premature because a black widow bit mother who went into shock then labor - unfortunately, it wasn't radioactive), so notes, text, etc. all goes into a TW - Have an elemental system based on 3 forces / 9 elements, and that's all explained in TW. There's a huge yi jing - like divination system that goes with it, based on combinations of the 9 elements (729 "trees" result), and they're explored via TW too - the random tool and a tiddler per "tree".
I keep all of these on a thumb drive that I back up nightly (or so). SO much easier to use for me that trying to set up / use a traditional wiki. Especially since they're primarily / only for ME. I don't get the "dirty looks" from the wiki farms about not sharing, no need to pay to have all the wikis I want, etc. It's easy to switch back and forth when there's overlap (frequently), easy to spin up a new, self-contained topic wiki, fairly hackable to get exactly what I want functionality and look wise.I like that I can be as organic or linear as I want: the grammar is pretty linear, uses ToC and various plugins / field to keep things orderly, the sorting is going from super organic to linear, and the materia magica is staying pretty organic overall. Work notes - I've thought about it, but too hard with the way things are set up. So I BuJo those. Only forget all the obnoxious "spend to weeks to make the monthly layout pretty" BS. I'm super practical there - it's a half page labeled "September" with a list of things and that's it. Messy, but useful. And strangely organized. Okay, that's enough of that.
