LOGREDIS

LOGREDIS stands for Log, Review, Discover. I came across it in a YouTube video in 2024 and it quietly became the operating system of my notes. This garden is its visible end.

Log

Logging should be as simple as possible: quick to do, possible on your phone, and over before it interrupts what you were doing.

• Log small wins and achievements as well as tasks and thoughts.
• Don’t decide where something belongs while logging. A five-minute conversation can have action items without needing its own note.
• Something that seems worthless now may be exactly what you need in a month. Logging is cheap; losing it isn’t.

Review

A note doesn’t have to be permanent the moment you write it. Review is where structure appears.

• A weekly review of everything logged shows patterns: if one week is full of notes on a new technology, that’s a new category or a new topic note waiting to be made.
• Let structure emerge from what you’ve captured. Build maps of content around notes that already exist, not up front.
• A hub note’s value isn’t the auto-generated list. It’s the linking and writing you do while making it.

Discover

Any note should be findable again later, and connected to others when you do.

• Revisit old notes on a schedule (monthly is enough), even though it can feel dull. That’s where old ideas meet new problems.
• Collate wins into a standard format. I use STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result), which makes achievements easy to understand months later and is exactly the shape you need when writing a self-review or a CV.

How I run it now

Stage	My implementation
Log	One daily note with a raw Log section, typed on any device or photographed from a paper notebook
Review	An end-of-day pass that sorts each log entry into signal (keep and file) or noise (leave in the day)
Discover	Notes carry a next-review date on a spaced schedule (Spaced Repetition), and each day’s summary lists connections to older notes

The end-of-day pass is done with an AI assistant, which is the agent loop from What Makes an AI Agent applied to my own notes. The raw log is never rewritten; cleaned-up versions go to the destination note. The long version of how I run it is in How I Take Notes: Capture, Distil, Resurface. Related methods: Zettelkasten for how the permanent notes are written, and The Second Brain for why bother at all.
