I just use an inbox tag that I pin to my sidebar. I tag anything I'm not ready to review yet with #inbox and I go through it about once a week.

Yes I used to put lecture notes as media objects, and I tagged them with #lecture/#course etc. It's perfectly ok to separate them too. Happy to give more concrete advice on this or any other questions at [email protected] :)

@@PKM_Beth : Perfect! I will shout out in an email ❤️

No archiving, I just drag unused object types to the bottom on the sidebar.

Capacities doesn't have collaboration, it's a tool for individuals.

Object types have a lot of flexibility, from the properties applied, to the page layout, to the default way your links to an object of that type look (e.g. always embed quotes as small cards). I find this a much fuller approach to thinking in types and it's what sold me on Capacities in 2022. I found obsidian templates just looked after the words on the page, rather than how that page looks/how I interact with it elsewhere. It's been a long time since I played with Obsidian templates though, so that may have changed! I think there's real value in creating subgroups of objects (e.g all English kings, all French people) and it's easier to maintain them than having 500 tags, because they're already sorted by object type. If collections help you dive deeper, tags let you bring things together from anywhere. I enjoy the separation in use cases, but that doesn't mean everyone will.

Capacities doesn't have space templates I'm afraid

You're so kind, thank you :)

This sounds fascinating! I'd love to hear more about this!!

Have you seen the PARA video on the Capacities channel? That should help you get set up! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abmSjJWC0rnWqZc.html

Yes. Saw that one right before this one. Guessing I have to watch it again while trying to replicate the ideas 💡

The course was updated by Francesco recently (toolschool.co/learn-capacities/), as my version was old. I now work full time for Capacities so make a lot of content on their channels :)

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!

@@PKM_Beth​​⁠Thanks so much for replying. I’ll check this out and see if it captures what I’m aiming to do. 😊 Keep up your great work and congrats on joining the capacities team. I hope you continue to flourish in all your endeavors. You seem like a very genuine person.

@@vocal_jay Thank you so much, that means a lot :)

Screenstudio!! 100% worth the money

@@PKM_Beth Glad to know! I'll check it out.

screenstudio.

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.

You're welcome! Do you mean linking to all days/weeks for example?

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 used both Logseq and Capacities during my short-lived Masters, as I used the PDF annotation in Logseq. But Capacities just makes so much sense to me that other apps became less interesting in comparison. I'm currently using it for pretty much everything. But I do quick capture in Apple notes, bookmarks in Raindrop, lists in Twos. But I spend the vast majority of my day at home in Capacities :)

Haha no way!

I'm so glad! Thank you :)

Thanks for watching Stephen!

You're so welcome! Thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment 🥰

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!!

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.

True especially for business uses

We're focusing on individuals before collaboration! But one day this could be possible.

I am looking for an evernote alternative for my family. So collaboration is the key: Personal notebooks and shared notebooks is what I require...

@@aschiemann1 consider Upnote.

Thank you so much! I'm glad it's got you thinking. Let me know if I can be of any help :)

Thank you!!

That’s great to hear, thank you! What challenges are you facing?

@@PKM_Beth I found it really easy to add things into Obsidian, but then trying to find it again through the basic search was not good. (maybe I need to learn a better way to query) I gather notes and clips, but to actually turn it into something useable later is a challenge. I want to find my saved sources when writing. My hope is to gather references so I can give credit to whom I learned the info. I've enjoyed the workflow in Capacities. I am concerned about creating the same issue of finding my notes without a good structure.

@@jmlouie I wrote about something last week that might help here: www.pkmbeth.com/p/resonance-filter-note-taking-not-bookmarking This is my method for making sure I can get something useful/enjoyable out of a source before it gets to Capacities. This has lots of positives including better, more precise search. Hope that helps in some way!

@@PKM_Beth Excellent! Thank you so much! I'll try out your system and see how it works.

Glad I could help!
