I think your approach sounds interesting.

When you say you write things down in log format, do you use a field as a tag?

Any chance you can paste an example entry?

I don't usually tag my entries though I could. Here are two interesting ideas (by other people) that I came across, which I jotted down in order to process later. As I come across other related ideas, I cluster and rewrite when I feel like it, if they pique my interest.

Credit cards are a form of microfinance for the privileged — they’re essentially 30 day interest free loans.

Tobi Luetke: use systems thinking as a shared language. Drawing diagrams elucidates an idea and exposes assumptions.
