Just In Case and Just In Time

Just In Case and Just In time.

I saw it somewhere as a way to categorise content consumption. I have since tried to follow it.

Just In Case - Piece of content you may or may not need in the future.
Just In Time - Piece of content that supports the current mission.

Any content I don't need, I don't consume it. If I think I'd need it in the future I'd bookmark it. At a point, I figured my bookmarks was becoming something else. So I tweaked my heuristic for how I bookmark content. If the piece of content is google-able, I wouldn't bookmark it. That way, my bookmarks section stopped growing.

I figured most content are google-able. The ungoogle-able peice of content are either mental models or career-specific insights.

JIC and JIT have helped a bit.

But somehow my twitter bookmark section is still growing.

Is that okay?

Maybe it is and it's only an issue because there's no way to organize Twitter Bookmarks?



I know what you mean about Twitter Bookmarks growing out of hand. I haven't actually used it regularly but the one time I went there to look for a thread that I'd saved I found it impossible to. 

I now try saving things into RoamResearch. You still use Obsedian?

I've not been consistent with Obsidian actually
