Disclaimer - I work for Capacities, but I have neither been asked to make this video nor to use Capacities for my lifeOS. I choose to because I love it, and I'm talking about it for fun. All work I do for Capacities is on the Capacities channels, not PKM Beth :)

PS... anyone notice the special icon in the daily note..? 🌅

Thank you so much for sharing your life in Capacities. Could you also do a video of your daily/weekly/monthly workflow capturing the notes and updating it in your other objects? I'd love to see how your Object Type Goals are connected to your Home Page and other periodic Objects (week/monthly/quarterly). It would be fantastic to have a mind map for a visual representation of the relationships and links between all your objects and your Home Page.

Thank you so much for this overview! I have been wanting to gather all of this in 1 place and find a way to build PARA and goals inside Capacities. I started to play around with it, but got overwhelmed on the how 😂

How did I miss seeing this. I love your content Beth. Watching this makes me lean towards Capacities again. The back link in the daily note to see what you have been working on is huge. I leant to Anytype because you can have Galleries and Kanban views etc. Then I was reminded about Timestripe and got distracted 😂. I love your idea of essence, you described it perfectly. I swear you are the person I would be if all these digital tools existed when I was your age.

I was kind of struggling with implementing my dailies into the calendar and connecting it with a functional and comfy home. This video will help a lot with that - thank you so much!

Thank you so much for sharing your setup. It is really helping me wrap my head around how I want to set up, which is by Personal Sprints. I like to break my goals and habits into 3 week sprints plus 1 week of retrospective and planning for the next sprint. I break each sprint down into (3) areas of focus - Health and Key Relationships, Quality of Life and Personal Growth and Career. I do have weekly reviews to apply learnings and course corrections and to make sure I’m staying on track. And I maintain a backlog of areas/projects to consider for future sprints. I’m currently using 4 different apps to do this, but a LifeOS would be wonderful!

This is so interesting!! I tried sprints out last year, but just for work. Hadn't thought do include personal ones at all. Love this, thank you for sharing.

I’ve been using capacities on and off pretty much since it has existed lol. It thinks how I think & I love it. There’s not much content about it still so can you please show me how to use it as a project manager where I can delegate to my VA & a content planner. I’m curious to see how it can be set up in an efficient way

Hi Beth! Really interesting video, as always, thanks! I found the Essence idea very relevant and resonated a lot with your motivations about living more consciously by doing this whole Life OS practice. How painful/easy was the transition process from Notion to Capacities ? Did you do all the work manually to transfer your data? And if you were one day to switch to another tool, would Capacities allow enough data ownership and interoperability to do so easily? Also, I think it would be awesome for Capacities to enable object-type inheritance like Tana does, to add specific properties to sub-types as well as grouping types together in parent types (Tana even allows for multiple inheritance). Bon courage dans ton apprentissage du français 😊

Thanks for your comment! Amazing to hear essence resonated with you... I've not moved anything into Capacities yet, I've just started fresh. The export from Notion is a mess and I'm very confused by it, so that's a project in itself. But Capacities allows useful exports into Markdown (settings > backup) which I've done loads of times so I'm happy with that! We have had some requests for inheritance so do upvote the canny ticket if you haven't already so you can stay up to date about it :) capacities.io/feedback/p/sub-databases-inheritance-object-inheritance Et merci beaucoup!!

Great video! Are you still using Day One as your journaling app?

@PKM_Beth Ай бұрын

I do my daily review in capacities (just a log of what I did really), but still have day one for more in depth things, and I still have a bunch of automations that add things to day one for me.

I hope not. I'd like the PERSONAL knowledge management system to stay that way. I'd much rather they spend the limited resources keeping focused on individual users.

Thank you for opening up our minds to what can be done in this great app. I recently came across a YTer that created a "forever journal" in apple notes. I really liked the idea. I can imagine that their is an easy way to do that in Capacities but I am not sure how. Can you provide any insight? ref: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7mmZal7r7uue5s.html. The key thing that appeals to me is to me able to see past journal entries naturally arise each day. If you show me a way to do this I will move all of my journal entries that are all over the place into one central location.

@PKM_Beth 3 күн бұрын

Thanks for your comment! Because Capacities is centred around a calendar, you can go to any day in the past or future and begin a daily note. If you want multiple journal entries per date, create a 'journal' object type with a date property. That will give you a button to quick add a journal entry from the calendar. The workflow would be to use the mini-calendar on the right hand side to choose a date to write on, click "journal" and get writing. That will automatically fill the date property in too. When you go back to the central calendar after writing one or more journal entries, they will all be visible in that one central calendar page. Check out this video to see some of this in action: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7V5jduTnpzXpGw.htmlsi=T2aWVZTZ_mQvuqOY hope that helps!
