[2024-01-07 10:59:10 AM] : Can someone share their workflow of their safari session? I’m particularly interested in how you sift through the relevant themes in a watering hole, keep track of new and old threads and organise your notes.

Can you tell us a bit more about what you mean about "keeping track" of new and old threads? My inclination without further context is to point you to the serial killer wall stuff.
[2024-01-08 01:18:11 PM] : also curious if you've reviewed this cheat sheet: https://courses.30x500.com/courses/30x500-academy-read-their-minds/lectures/44004997
and if you have, where are you still finding yourself stuck?
[2024-01-09 10:46:25 PM] : I've gone through the cheatsheet Alex.
When you're revisiting a watering hole (say, Reddit), how do you only discern the new themes / threads / replies?
How do you keep track of what you've already assessed / what's yet to be processed?
Also, do you capture the themes across all the watering holes into a single list?
Do you "watch" shortlisted threads for new replies?
[2024-01-10 10:01:07 AM] : ah, got it!
[2024-01-10 10:12:28 AM] : a couple of notes and suggestions:
• it can definitely be helpful to keep track of themes across watering holes - watering holes are places to find people, but they typically aren't hard boundaries! I'd consider this part of the "analyze" step of that cheat sheet.
• all parts of safari (themes, pain, jargon, etc) can absolutely span watering holes, and also be useful in the "remix" steps of the cheat sheet to surface new discussions and even new watering holes.
• if there's a hot, still active thread I might keep it open in a tab for a while and come back to it, both to take notes and also to participate while it's warm!
• as general advice, it sounds a bit like you're trying to maximize collection (which requires you keeping track of what's new/old, etc). instead, I'd try to focus more on understanding. make your goal to walk away from each safari session with new information in your brain, and potential next actions (like ebombs to create!)
