20. TiddlyWiki is a free program that helps you easily create and index notes, to-do lists and any kind of information that you need to organize and have at hand quickly.
21. Think of TiddlyWiki as a collection of note cards, called “tiddlers”, all in one computer file.
22. These tiddlers can be linked to each other by hyperlinks, the links found in web pages
23. They can also be linked by tags, words attached to tiddlers to indicate their topic or content
24. Just create a tiddler by clicking a button, give it a title, then add your content.
25. Add a tag in the tag window to indicate its topic, if you wish. Then click ‘Done’.
26. Voila! Your new tiddler is complete! You can easily edit it at any time. Click ‘close’ to tuck it away.
27. But wait! How do I find my new tiddler again? Is it buried in a file folder somewhere?
28. Not to worry. Your tiddler is right there in the same file. There are several quick and easy ways to find tiddlers with your notes and information:
29. A table of contents called MainMenu that you can personalize
45. You can even get a TiddlyWiki hosted online for free at http://tiddlyspot.com/
46. Now let’s see how TiddlyWiki can be used to organize your life. Here is a free TiddlyWiki adaptation I created, which can be found at www.giffmex.org/tiddlydu2.html
51. Assign your tasks to projects, and your projects to life goals, and see them indexed automatically Life goal Automatic list of projects tagged with that life goal
52. Want to see your tasks by task type? No problem!
53. Send finished tasks to be added to your next work report, then delete them after your report.
54. Save your important information in a convenient place. You can even password-protect your sensitive information
59. So there you have it. No more scrolling through long documents. No more wading through folders. No more scraps of paper.
60. Just create tiddlers, tag them, tuck them away, then call them up quickly when you need them. Only as many as you want. In the order that you want. It’s that simple.
61. TiddlyWiki is basically an HTML file (a web page file) that you open with nothing more than your Internet browser.
62. Any recent browser on any computer will work, though Mozilla Firefox works best.
63. You do not need to be online to use TiddlyWiki. The idea is that you save your free TiddlyWiki file to your computer. Then it’s completely yours.
64. Put your TiddlyWiki on a USB drive , and you have a “Wiki on a stick” that can be edited on virtually any computer!
65. How to download a basic TiddlyWiki: 1. Go to www.tiddlywiki.com
66. 2. Click on ‘Download software’ in the left menu
67. 3. Right-click “this link to empty.html” then select “Save link as” or “Save target as” to save the file to your computer.
68. 4. Close your Internet browser and open your very own new TiddlyWiki file to begin using it!
