I initially did everything in zk even if it was a temporary working memory dump, but recently I’ve gone back to notebooks for those kinds of temporary notes, and I put important stuff into zk later (if and only if I want to expand on parts of the temporary notes in a more permanent fashion).
Similarly, at first I tried to figure out which decks to carry with me. Now I either carry all of them (if I’m going to sit and do work in them) or just a notebook to take temporary notes in. Eventually carrying all of them will be a real problem when there are too many, but I’m not there yet; they still fit in a backpack.
I’ve done sequences of equations in my zk, but also sometimes go to notebooks. I think the situation is “ok but not great”. A possible solution would be to keep a larger-paper zk specifically for this, with cross-references between it and the smaller zk (enabled by using capital letters to name zk’s and cross-referenced, as I mentioned in the text). I don’t currently think it’s a big enough problem for that to be worth it.
