A wiki for worknotes and meetings: What kind of worklows and adjustements do you have?

Hi @Odin,

Glad to hear you’re about to use TiddlyWiki in a work setting. From my experience using TiddlyWiki in a medical research setting for 5 years, I’ve always favored this setup:

  1. Setting up a Todo tiddler for all my todos and making it the home default tiddler whenever I open my wiki every morning. It becomes a routine way of clearing outstanding things. Make use of Eisenhower’s matrix (we should probably make a plugin for that) to decide what’s important enough for that list or you will overwhelm yourself.

  2. Make use of the journalling function to reflect on daily activities. Good for planning the following days.

  3. Choose a theme that sets your mind at ease and don’t try to make your wiki too sophisticated. I use JD whitespace theme for that. Sophistication leads to distraction and leads to busywork trying to improve your TiddlyWiki. This has happened to me on more than one occasion, but I find ways to cope :wink:

  4. Finally, during your spare time or weekends, you may take time to reflect on any deficiencies you may have experienced using your TiddlyWiki. This will be an opportunity to improve your workflow in TiddlyWiki by adding useful plugins that may help your work. Over the years, I’ve added many plugins and have created many custom solutions that help with my work. Stay problem oriented and you’ll reap the rewards in spades

  5. Finally, if you ever get stuck, feel free to consult this wonderful community. We’re always ready to help you out :relaxed:

All the best with your work.

PS: above all else, don’t be too dogmatic about workflows. Be as flexible as TiddlyWiki. You’ll be surprised at what you can gain when you look at what others use for their work.
