How to get all Tiddlers created on a Sunday?

I’d like to see tiddlers I created on particular days… the rhythm of the week shapes my tiddling

Alex

Give this a try:

<$list filter="[all[tiddlers]] :filter[{!!created}format:date[DDD]match[Sunday]] +[sort[created]]">
<$text text={{{ [{!!created}format:date[DDD, YYYY0MM0DD]] }}}/>- <$link/><br>
</$list>

Thanks Eric, it’s wonderful!

Q:Where am I going with this?
A: Different days have different vibes and I am a creature of habbit. I want to pick up on the context of the time at which I was working rather than specific information. I want to tiddle from context and get in flow.

Anyone relate to this?

Alex

That is a reflexive/responsive order, meaning that knowledge of doings re-enters doings as part of the done (as in Gendlin).
Also, you seem pretty Csikszentmihalyi’d :wink:

Best, TT

That is a wondress filter! Now I know what @jeremyruston was working on Sundays in August 2013 …

I’m tiddling out from an idea [[My Paper System]].
This system is quite messy and consists of two diaries, some exercise books, pens and pencil crayons. One is from last year and I started using the pages that I didn’t use. There are a lot of blank pages and its nice paper.

I like the feel of the paper and the feel of pen on the paper. In fact multiple nano-rewards came my way before I really stated to get going.

I set off a stopwatch on my phone. The idea was sparked by realising that I am spending a lot of time on TikTok while in bed. I thought I would spend the time on My Paper System (MPS) instead.

MPS includes my laptop. It’s pleasing that its the same size as my paper diaries. I decided to listen to some music and remembered that when I first got a laptop I listened to The Stochastic Hit Parade a lot. I was researching Jackson Pollock. I was a student studying visual art and The Stochastic Hit Parade came up in a search. It was the early days of Wifi and streaming. The whole set-up made me feel I was living in a modern time.

Bethany Ryker is still going on WFMU. I noticed she’s made a program on Paul Klee [1]

Working on the kitchen table on a Sunday morning with my TiddlyWiki (running on Node.js) on my laptop playing Bethany with a nice little messy arrangement of diaries, a pen roll and other stuff put me the zone.

Part of my MessScape on the table is Visual Thinking by Temple Grandin. I like to see The Mess as something similar to the material left by the sea at a high tide. My diary indicated to me that today is a full moon. Full Moon on a Sunday! What a great time!

MPS includes a CTW5 - a TiddlyWiki running on Node in the Comet Browser. The idea is to use this as an index card system that can index all The Messes I temporarily create.

I’m conciously creating a system that has enough depth on interest to keep me off TikTok. I thought I’d build my own Attention / Reward System around my own stuff.

I liked the expression Joe Armstrong said about Jeremy - that he was a human garbage collector. I’m trying to use TW to collect my garbage from the Tide Line I’ve created by My Mess.

Before I stopped listening to Andrew Huberman I pickup up the expression “dopamine stacking”. He used to describe pathological addictive behaviour and I’ve borrowed it and re-purposed it. He also talks about ADHD minds wanting to form Pile Files - pile of stuff, mess. What if this mess is part of an extended mind? What if loosing things and then finding them has benefits to the creative process?

Sorry for my tardy reply.

First off, I hope you remember your excellent Sheep Project …


It stood out to me your enthusiasm for Temple Grandin.

The woman is a genius.
(I’ll put some info at the end of the post for those interested.)


In regards to Tiddlywiki I wonder if you keep a diary in her?


I do like your messy way. Seems accurate to the ongoing.
