Why a digital garden? 🌱

2026-01-16

As an avid user of physical bullet journals, my Notes app, digital workspaces like Notion, habit tracker apps, my growing collection of SSDs, countless social media accounts - the list goes on, I've been overwhelmed with how scattered my life records have been.

I've been wanting to create a digital garden since I first heard about it from my colleague (thanks Jay), but never really knew how I can simplify my complex 30+ years of life into a simple platform. There's so much I want to dig up and document properly, my education, my travels, my milestones, my growing hobbies, my thoughts.

I also kept going back and forth between keeping it professional vs personal.

But 🦆 it, I'm going to start. I want to use this platform as a playground and 'single source of truth' of my digital life, to look back on most things I've done so far. Excited to see where this goes.
