Izi.. You just need to do what you want the most to do.... If you want to be lazy and not to choose what to do.. U can do it

God bless you all ❤ Jesus loves you come to him and let us be grateful in him. You will all be prayed for and loved. By the way that little voice telling you to start something may be God!!🎉

I like to do this for the opposite reason. When I'm reading light stuff like novels, I plow through it too quickly and am not ready to start a whole new world with all new characters yet. I still want to sit with the previous story and think about it, but lacking a book club/reading group/ actually active forum or fanbase, I have no one else to talk to about it. But I require mental stimulation to keep the adhd satisfied so I pick up history, philosophy, etc to keep my mind active while I keep mentally going back and considering things from the previous story. Scenes and dialogue and choices. If it was a historically based story I might research the time period, the politics, culture, and fashions. Right now I'm reading a bunch of Jane Austen and learning about the Regency period, which has led me to Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray, as well as a bunch of contemporary novels that Jane Austen read herself and references in her books. I'm going back and forth from reading Austen to reading biographies **about** Austen to learning about her era to learning about the politics and fashion and pop culture etc etc. Edit** but I def cannot do this with multiple novels. I forget who's in which story and who has what backstory and who the love interest was supposed to be. I don't like mixing worlds. I can read a novel and a textbook at the same time, but not 2 even remotely similar novels, mangas, comics, etc. And if I'm deep in one story and start another, I just can't go back to the first story with all the correct emotions. I no longer care as much about these characters or their lives and goals. It's stressful because a lot of good stuff is being written and produced one chapter or page at a time and posted online weeks or months apart or written and published **years** apart.

I just heard the renaissance mens are coming to town really soon. So this video will help me connect with them

funny that most of the example pictures aren't even from renaissance

Great video! Believe it or not, this calmed down my overthinking brain. I have a quick question though. To create an index, do you move the empty note in the tags folder to the index folder? How does this affect the tagging system? Cheers!

Just found your channel. I'm happy the algorithm showed me this video, and thank you SO much for this, truly. I took notes, and hopefully I'll be able to implement this. This is such high quality and informative content, while also being real and human. And your voice is so soothing! I'm your 100.001st subscriber now, lol.

Very informative 😊What Is the Software you are using For mini essay and Mind mapping?

Odysseas I recommend you to use "callouts" to write quotes. > [!qoute] Author > Text

I have a stand next to my bed with 3-4 books on it that range in difficulty. Reading to me is more a casual engagement into a new world. Like a video game. Just dipping into stories or thoughts. So I jump around to different books a lot. So much joy in a book catching your eye and dropping into a part of the story again. 😊

In all the months that I’ve been searching for how to best setup and start using Obisidian, this video has been the most practical, organized, and logical. Thank you!

Biggest question I have is when to use tags and links. Let me know if you covered this already, would love to hear your perspective on their function and how you use it.

Hello, I notice the nodes in your graph view are colored. What sort of system or settings do you have set up for coloring your nodes?

Excellent video. I struggle with this. I'll try the calendar. I definitely try to avoid the internet rabbit-holes as I get work done, as its too easy to start thinking about all the extra things I "want" to know besides the thing I need to know to get the current task done.

I always felt like this wasn’t common. I’m glad I’m not alone in this 😅

i still dont understand how indexes work... if anyone can help please lmk

so the advantage to use tags as real notes is to transform in indexes right? and major tags (real tags) to check if a note is baby-child-adult

Wow, thanks so much. You are helping me so much. I had the same ideas, but had no idea how to get going. You explaining your work, is encouraging me to get going and getting better.

I would have skipped this video. However, the section titled "The value of being slow" anchored me in.

I agree, this works for me.

Speed ​​reading is not about how to read quickly, it is about how to read thoughtfully. Speed ​​reading is a process consisting of several stages: 1. scanning to understand and locate the main ideas -> main ideas + bigger picture 2. reading with a marker -> facts + questions 3. reading with notes -> answers and connections Each stage is designed as an information noise filter and memorization methods based on sequential repetition. This is a scientifically proven method for better memory retention. I recommend that you read a self-instruction book from some speed reading school with many years of experience and I assure you that you will change your mind. Speed ​​reading is the marketing name for productive reading. This is where a good speed reading book should start.

You clarified in just a few minutes what I had been having problems solving in my life for years, from one stranger to another, thank you. Great video!

"when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - this is a popular business philosphy and this applies here as well. This year i read 2 books of fiction based on greek mythology in a matter of 2 weeks. I also plan to start reading about the great war and WW2, like fill blown non fiction accounts. This is not a casual read and in no way i would be able to get through this even in 6 months. So it can never compare!!

One serious question concerning reading is, do you have a "reading chair" or "reading desk". I find it difficult sometimes reading for longer period of times due to neck pains, knee pains from sitting, back issues, etc. It works for me to go working out, because my muscles are somehow doing better after working out, if I don't go to thw gym for a week, my issues start again. So do you have those issues?

4:47 instead of focusing on reading and understanding the book focusing on reading and understanding each chapter is far better

u kinda look like andre garfiled with a beard

I love this concept!

Pretty good intro. I enjoyed the first 2 minutes alot :>

No idea how such a boring video got 100k views. This could have been a 2 minute video

Just applied the concept to this video. Now it actually feels like I learnt instead of "eh, I watched a video about it"

was in my analytics and saw ur channel name and a 100k below it, congrats man. while the subs dont matter that much, its definitely a huge milestone.

I invested in a typewriter to slow my reading and writing down a bit. I take handwritten notes on a book or article I am reading, write a short summary on a yellow legal pad, and finally, type up my final draft on my typewriter.

Does this technique apply to textbooks? Like comp sci books with 1000 pages? Could I read superficially and highlight the topics that interest me the most, perhaps?

36 minutes of straight FACTS! Having ADHD its super easy for me to get obsessed with making my obsidian look perfect with all the shiny gimmicks and setups, that I got further and further away from the true purpose of the app. Really appreciate this video man

Thank you

You are god damn right sir, I went through the exact same process that Johnny Hustle, and I actually love the friction of learning now, looking back. PD: Please tell you are a professor because man what a story telling skills you have!!

If you love note taking and notebooks I recommend diving into the world of fountain pens….its addicting and encourages more writing on paper

Does tagging apply to source notes too or do you just tag in your main notes?

i get this so much, but as a chais child allowing a slither of order to occure naturally, i can say most my main interests ive fleshed out pretty well and they arnt going to make me money, things like quantum physics, philosophy, psychology, their isnt much i can do though and im basically waiting to die now after fighting an epic battle for so long, memories failing me, still sleep deprived decades later, friends all dead n gone, family still toxic, system still hates me for being an aware "young" male, the worlds turning to shit and all i can offer and few care enough to listen to me at all, i think by the time people are ready ill have reincarnated many times more

Probably the most important video ive seen in years. Dude you made me whip out a Notebook and my Pens to write down all of the core aspects you talk about, and I never do this hahah

Thank you so much! I've been struggling with my multiple interests. it did helped me a lot!

Great video! I don't fully get what is the difference between Tags and Indexes. Can't you just store the links in the Tag note itself?

0:48 This is a good example of what is called "Feature creep". When, due to lack of discipline with constraints, a combinatorial explosion occurs. Great example!

brother can u do a video on time management on particular tasks so we can depend on that time to complete the task for students purpose. Big love from INDIA

Lol it's scary how youtube algorithm showed this video atvthe right time . I'm a med student starting my college this year. And I've always wanted to learn playing Guitar And loved writing And since i read too much mangas and animes ,but I'm weak in drawing so I need to work on that I want to create a manga as a hobby and I want to improve my singing skills. Haha ikr a lot .... Hope I can fullfill this 😊 Where my main priority is my studies.

1000 words a day those are rookie numbers. The night before a paper is due i am at like 1000 words an hour lol.

I would just like to add that it is also important to allow your own learning “style” to flourish. Try different things out and if what you are trying is not working out; see if you can adjust it before you try something else but do not feel bad for having tried it. For example, retyping my notes (I prefer handwritten note-taking) in obsidian was not doing anything for me so the zettelkesten method was not something I feel was going to work for me. So I am sticking to notebooks and book annotating but I am getting better at discerning what is worth writing down over just writing everything down.

Such an insightful video❤ For the longest time I was confused about why we have to write mini essays when we can write the whole book summary in one note. But this video made it clear. Thank you for putting this content out. God bless you❤😊

I like how you explained the logic behind that feeling of discouragement after exposing ourselves to the algorithm that our own interests built. We must appreciate the effort behind those results to inspire us to continue focusing on our goals. Really liked this video!

That use of tags is Bryan Jenks's approach
