Tafuma Chademana

"Onwards and Upwards..."

I am Tafuma, and this is my Dura (Granary of knowledge) using the Zettelkasten method. This space is a fusion of my brainprickings. It allows me to better understand what I've learned and explore various ideas and boldly step into challenges that propel my growth. The notes are categorised according to Zettelkasten: fleeting, literature and permanent.

The notes are categorised according to Zettelkasten: fleeting, literature and permanent using Emacs Org Roam. I am curious about a lot of things, in fact, as many things as possible, and this is my outlet for this."

  • Inbox Notes: a place for Fleeting notes that need to be processed.
  • Literature Notes: condensed and informal summaries about a piece of consumed media e.g. an entire article, book, etc..
