MamaSprout Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Thinking out loud here. It's for adult self-education. Sort of . I'm always listening, reading, or learning stuff. Some is deliberate (book list), some of it is less so (Great Courses lectures). I want to capture some of this, because I think it is cool when things overlap. I thought about a timeline book like what Dd did for homeschool, but that seemed fussy. So then I thought about index cards. I already use them for task management and some of my more deliberate studying (language learning). Has anyone done a timeline in a box? I have 4x6 cards, dividers, and a good box. I could tab divide by centuries. Then I'm less sure. My other "knowledge" cards have a different system. Should I do cards by time (decades or years) or by domain (arts, literature) or a combination of the two? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaSprout Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 (edited) I’m leaning that way. I mean, it’s already numerical, lol. I have copies of Humanistic Traditions, which have timeline pages in it. It think as I see a section grow I can dip into that to sort round things out. I tend to get stuck in Medieval world history. I might try to start there and build out. Edited February 18 by MamaSprout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 One of mine did a really effective timeline of African American history as laminated index cards on a large metal key ring. She color coded the borders by era and events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
