Not gonna lie the thumbnail of Obsidian being crossing out triggered me to click the vid.

I agree with Tiago, it's often not the tools but YOU (the person) as the cause for something not working. I use Apple Reminders right now and it's productive for me because I have built a process around using a task management app. I could replace it with any app and I would probably be the same. The productivity is in my process, not the app.

*Such an honour to be chatting in-person with Tiago* Really hope every enjoys this as much as I enjoyed chatting and bantering! :) Francesco ✨

"It's a 2010 stack" I felt that in my core. It just works and it's reliable. I really tried using Notion and more then one time and it didn't work. I go for simplicity.

Tiago is my indirect mentor for information management. Just a great guy . . .

I’ve purchased the Audible version of Tiago’s book. Looking forward to listening to it.

I love Tiago, but he's using what I call "The Boomer Stack" here 😂

Great interview! A little suggestion,next time use a less sepia LUT it is a bit washed out but it's visible your constant evolution in production.congrats

Great video, but I found the vintage tone super hard to watch - I felt like I was watching something slightly out of focus.

The Tone of the video matches the selection of apps. I am a fan of Tiago’s work and already bought the audio book buy have a whole set of modern set of apps that I implement Tiago’s processes

That colour-grading isn’t ideal.

Why does the video look so yellow

COMMENTS EVOLVING AS I WACH: - OMG!! I Really don't like the sepia tone of the vid 🤯 (still watching the rest, but had to let it go in the comments). - Oh yeah! Things, Tiago. You mention speed and is the first time I hear someone bringing it on as a TOP feature (besides me), and that's its huge strength, IMO. - The NO hammer: that should become a book's name. Great interview, Francesco!

Why the warm & vintage colour grading tho?

Tiago Forte which app is used to SpaceX management?

10:30 după ce îți faci ordine în taskuri nu te duci la emailuri sau communications și te apuci să faci treabă pe care ai considerat că ești cel mai importantă nu nu ce îți spun alții sau cum trag alții de tine elefantul din cameră cum îți protejezi timpul și îți organizezi tu timpul și nu lași pe alții organizeze

That moment when you just finish making Obsidian your second brain and learn that Tiago uses Notion.

Great to see Tiago in this channel again

Instapaper is like your private newspaper ehich your read when you have free time, where you are your own newspaper editor.

I have been on Evernote for more than 10 years. - So how detoxication is going?

Can we receive time stamps for this video?

although the video it self is pretty ok, I had to downvoted because of thumbnail clickbait.

This is great! I was wondering about Tiago using both Instapaper to catch all the read/audio stuff but also Evernote? I thought Evernote was the catch all?

I used Evernote for 12 years. I had to leave about a year ago when the app was no longer native and it became this laggy, buggy machine. The friction of loading Evernote for even 5 seconds was too much to make it worth it.

So Merlin Mann the "creator" of inbox Zero has basicly turned away from it and said its not the best system at all and should not be used. What do you guys think about that? How do you counter his points.

The only problem with Things 3 is it is not on windows yet

elon musk is looking a bit different here

Honestly, while I get that execution is more important than the apps, I am underwhelmed with the list, other than maybe Notion (which I do not use); the list seems likes 2018. Wow, I wrote this abut did not click "Comment" to post, and they referenced 2012 - probably more accurate. And to be fair, people who use paper can be more productive ad reliable than the latest and greatest.

i'm a bit confused, so Tiago uses Evernote so... what are the advantages to use other software to capture articles as Instapaper over the evernote webclip? Thanks

Excellent chat Francesco!! great job!

I want to know what that article is that inspired them people to create superhuman

WOW! he collaborated with Elon Musk

A second brain 🧠. One, two or event hundred brains, this not the point. The point is how efficient and effective that would. Knowlege management has always been a good topic that helps individuals and organizations. A second brain is catchy title but it is all about how you store and manager knowledge. Then your single brain does the analysis.
