This website is organised into a few folders. I've incorporated the PARA system with some slight tweaks of my own.
### About Me
A few notes about me and the website structure
### Anecdotes
I have tried to reflect every day throughout the last five years. There are gaps particularly during covid, but I have been somewhat diligent with the process. The anecdotes section are snippets from my reflections capturing moments in my personal journey - particularly observations and learnings from working with children.
Unfortunately a lot of my startup learnings are not captured in written format, and you will find that they are missing in the anecdotes section. Most of the reflections happened in person and in meetings with my co-founder so they weren't documented as well as I'd have liked. Nonetheless, I will try to spend some time later on and include some learnings through some essays.
### Archive
A list of past projects and notes that are no longer relevant at the current point in time.
### Essays
This is a section that I'm still working on. These represent larger ideas and themes that cannot necessarily be captured in a single note. I'm hoping to distill learnings into a more digestible form through my essays.
### Ira Project
Though this could be classified under projects I've currently separated it out to help with collaboration with my co-founder.
### Notes
These notes are a view into my learnings whether that's through reading or through practice. The notes follow a "Zettelkasten" system with each note representing a single thought or idea. The notes are from various points in time and sometimes even contradict one another. I've retained them as is and have tried to link them to one another where common themes emerge.
You will find that the notes I have made on coding and technology are limited. These are often present in my GitHub or GitLab repositories and require great efforts to port. I will maintain them in greater detail going forward.
### Projects
I've tried to organise my tasks into projects wherever possible. This approach has helped me create a lot more coherence in my actions and also allows me to appreciate when I've made progress. This approach was adapted from the "Getting Things Done" framework and I have ensured that each project has a thought process and purpose behind it.
The projects list here is not exhaustive. There are a few other things that I am working on and there are standalone tasks as well. I have not included these since they sometimes contain personally identifiable information about others.
It must also be said that my tasks for the non-profit, Vismaya Kalike, is managed on a third party application and the plugin may not render on the website.
### Quotes
Just some quotes that I found were quite powerful
### Reading
This section is fairly self-explanatory and includes highlights from my Kindle reading and notes from any book or paper I might have read. These highlights and notes are things that I found intriguing or interesting and don't necessarily represent my opinions or views.
