Hello, I’m Amanda. Welcome to my public knowledge base. This space is where I share what I’ve learned through reading, building systems, tinkering, and, generally, just living life.

What you’ll find

Articles

An eclectic collection of evergreen writing. These are standalone pieces, not tied to the Extended Mind System.

Extended Mind System

My methodology for organizing information. Tool-agnostic in philosophy, with implementations for Notion and Obsidian.

Things to note

This site is a work in progress.

Pages will be added, reorganized, and refined over time. See the Change Log for updates. Some pages include one of the following labels:
LabelDescription
PLACEHOLDERThe article is not written yet. The placeholder page outlines what will be covered when the full article is complete, so you know what to expect.
DRAFTThe article exists and is written but is still being edited and refined. The content is there; it’s just not finished.

Bookmark the top-level URL.

Save docs.amandamashburn.com rather than bookmarking individual pages. I’m prone to renaming and reorganizing files at the moment, which breaks page-level URLs. The top-level domain will always get you to the right place. Once the site structure stabilizes, individual page links will be safe to save.
