How to Build Your Secret Repertoire — From the DESK of Van Schneider — Edition Nr.245

I have to have a strong feeling about something. Ambivalent means having strong but perhaps opposing feelings towards something. If I have this feeling, it's already enough for me to save it to my repertoire, because I know it will be useful in the future. I felt something. But if I feel indifferent about something, that's a clear sign that I will not save it because it's entirely useless to me. The second part of this is making it a passive habit to find meaning in something, without a clear purpose or an immediate payoff.

For example: Every time I browse the internet, every time I see an image that makes me FEEL something, I immediately save it. Even though this image has no immediate purpose. It's not for a current project. The reference truly has no purpose other than one I imagine exists in the future. And this is where the secret is at.

This is another reason I love mymind as my repertoire. There are no folders or categories because I find them completely useless and they disrupt my natural flow of saving references for the future. Because if a particular reference has no immediate purpose, there is also no folder or category for it. And I do not want the process of organizing or categorizing to add friction to my saving process.
