Another fan of the local graph, here. I’ve recently hyped the local graph’s value by including in my daily note template links to the notes for “this day a year ago” and “this day two years ago”. By tweaking the local graph depth settings to include links to those older notes in the display, I can see in the local graph for any given day not only was important to me that day but was important to me in the same time slice up to two years ago. It’s both fun and serendipitous.
For serendipity, I’ve always found the “wander” feature in TheBrain, which randomly (?) flips notes from the database in front of you at a nice leisurely pace. You can stop the wandering at any point and use it as the top level of a personal notes rabbit hole. Fun.
