Logseq/Journal/Editorial headings

• Journal — Editorial headings

  • Parent: Logseq/Journal.
  • Person/codekiln writes these headings. An agent writes the Filed and Updated change log and nothing above it, so this page describes a human's titling practice rather than instructing an agent. An agent reading it as an instruction has twice put narrative blocks in a journal that were then deleted by hand.

  • Goal

    • Section titles should feel curated: wry, juxtaposed, a little magazine-like — in the spirit of Harper's, the Economist, the New Yorker. The outline should suggest tensions (tool vs platform, freedom vs friction) without explaining the joke in prose.

  • Grouping

    • Cluster related bullets under one heading so the contrast between sections does the work, not just long flat lists.
    • Headings may use [[Topic]] links when the day is organized around entities or areas already tracked; wit is welcome but not mandatory every line.

  • Title examples

    • "Protecting the Concentration" — focus and preservation.
    • "It's always Acronym-ious with AI" — wordplay on "acrimonious."
    • "Freedom and/from Capitalism" — juxtaposition suggesting tension.
    • "The Art of the Side-Note" — elevating a minor detail.
    • "Tools That Think They're Platforms" — a wry observation.

  • How to find a title

    • Wordplay — play with the language ("Acronym-ious", "Freedom and/from").
    • Contrast — surface a tension (old/new, free/constrained, tool/platform).
    • Elevation — lift a mundane topic ("The Art of…", "On the Nature of…").
    • Understatement — say less to suggest more.

  • Anti-patterns

    • Generic single-word bins: "Notes", "Misc", "Thoughts."
    • Headings that narrate process ("What I did today") instead of implying it.
    • Replacing factual content with clever titles — headings organize; they do not substitute for links and specifics.
