📚 Pre-order my book to get an exclusive ticket to The Feel-Good Productivity Annual Planning Workshop in January 2024! www.feelgoodproductivity.com/...
The whole point of a productivity system is to get your life in order and free up valuable brain space. No one wants to be spending tons of time organising emails or searching for a book quote that they forgot to highlight.
There are broadly three levels of building an ultimate productivity system: keeping your life in order, capturing new info, and creating a system around it. You can stop at layer one or use all three. I cover it all in more detail in this video, including suggestions for apps that I like to use daily.

After all everything in live is about balance, you shouldn't make the calendar run your life, but use it as a tool to help you. Which means not to book every minute of your life in the calendar, but only the important bits and just go along with the rest

My life is so simple that I do not need a calendar. A simple reminder or an alarm clock is sufficient. My life consists of five days of studying at school and two days of studying/resting at home with no surprises and off-the-schedule activities. Since I am a Ph.D. candidate, other than reading papers and doing experiments, and trying to write papers of my own, I have no course need to attend to. I have very few emails, less than five per day. And four of them are most likely ads.

@Chase_Crawford
@Chase_Crawford Жыл бұрын
I can understand why it seems that way but it's not that simple. The basic note taking functions of Obsidian are extremely simple and easy to use. The only learning curve would be learning markdown syntax instead of clicking a button on a menu to add formatting. The only other learning curve would only be necessary if you want to get more out of the app. If you want database-like functionalility and other features there are many community plugins that are well-supported and very powerful. These are not required though and you can learn them as you need them. Hope this answered your questions!

After 8 long years of battling with insecurities, low self-esteem, with constant fear of the knowledge I could infect someone with HSV 1&2 was a nightmare to me. I'm so glad/grateful that I am over Herpes and its stigma! All thanks to Dr. Aloha #Herpes #Hsv1 #Hsv2 #Sti kzfaq.info/love/_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww 🍀🇺🇸❤️

Great video Ali on what works for you. The David Allen "Getting Things Done" was the most effective book i've read to develop my own systems that suits me. Highly recommend for everyone to read that book and develop their own productivity systems that works for them. For me im pen and paper, outlook, and onenote. thats it.

1st person ive ever listened to that I didnt have to increase the playback speed! Also the kindle app can become an audio book also through the spoken content feature of the iphone etc. This enables you to still be able to highlight and save highlights/ notes (all the features of the kindle book) plus the added feature of audio listening as audible doesn't allow this and the spoken content feature is embedded so its free with tons of different narration options.

For capture app I prefer "Simple Note". Its is crossplatform and on almost any platform. I like that because I use both Apple and Microsoft systems.

Honestly, this has motivated me to clean up my mailbox and my to do lists on my Mac and gave Instapaper another go. Now the file sorting and cloud storage is the next step. Appreciate the advice, Ali. Cheers!

As a Potterhead the level references are just spot on :D On to the serious part - I always struggle to find a good read-it later app that doesn't break the bank. Readwise is nice indeed but I am not at a point in my life where I can afford it :(

Great Video! I really enjoyed reading Taigo's book! Both Code and PARA have helped me navigate and create a second brain that works for me! I still need some work on the Express part of CODE. Im hoping to do that with a book review of Building a Second brain. I really enjoy readwise and its daily reviews thanks for recommendation! I have been using Obsidian for the past 4 months and I love it! I really enjoy the search and linking features that Obsidian has to offer. Im a software Dev and I can't tell you how many times Obsidian as saved me the trouble searching online for something I need weeks ago! I can't wait to see what you come up with if you decide to make the switch. Plus Obsidian has a great community and helps develop plug-ins for even more fun!

That moment when he said that so fast that even after I replay 17:54 multiple times, I kept missing it. After awhile, I finally caught that. Lol XD That is pretty cool though, he said second brain and obsidian actually advertise themselves as second brain, and for good reason too. Lol XD
