i want to create a digital garden as a means of being more intentional and creative with my time in general, and specifically my time online. after coming across the concept of a digital garden on tiktok (@unearthworms) and youtube (anna howard), i felt that this was the exact type of documentation resource that i was looking for to track the content that i consume on a daily basis and ensure that it isn't going in one ear and out the other. long-term retention is the ultimate goal, but even just having a dedicated place to reference the things i've already learned and / or engaged with is a huge leap. on this page in particular, i want to keep track of the resources and inspiration that i used / am using to build my digital garden.
the main resource i used to even understand what digital gardens really are was maggie appleton's a brief history & ethos of the digital garden. i found this to be an incredibly comprehensive resource for understanding what a digital garden was - and arguably, more importantly, what it is not. visualizing a digital garden as a personal wiki is my favorite way of thinking about it.
