Great guide, I am setting this up almost identically. One thing only: Do not trust cloud providers, as they might lock your account for unknown reasons or lose the data. Backup both on the cloud and on a offline storage method.
First of all, thank you very much for the video. I learned new things and it changed my perspective on some issues. I have a nagging question, and getting your feedback will enlighten me a lot. I'm 27 years old and I'm learning that things I thought were right until now are actually wrong. Therefore, if I find out that my notes on things I thought were right today are wrong in the future (1-5 years later) when I'm going through my notes, should I revise my old notes? Because 1-5 years later, my thoughts on the same subject will contradict my old notes. ☹
Much appreciated, and that's a important question too. In your position, I'd keep the original note, but add a new note of your current belief (which then links back to the original in disagreement). This is common to see in the zettelkasten -each note is just a point, which you may agree or disagree with, and you can add any arguments for or against it in separate notes, to better help you see the discussion. From there, you make a final conclusion, maybe in its own note. I hope that makes sense.
They are, but I write them to be conversational and I don't follow the script word for word even then. It's more to help me structure it and not miss points.
na if you’re a creative you should definitely prioritize your work > school. i’ve seen many students focus on their work and make it. the real question is where is the momentum? and prioritize that
You have… no idea how this hit me. I love so many areas of my life that look like interests but some are passions, some are the reasons I live and breathe. It’s just TOO MUCH sometimes. I want to do everything and it’s almost crippling.
This is an old account of main, but god I’d love to work with you on a collaboration one day. I am an illustrator who has been dealing with a RSI injury in my wrists. My passion to learn everything about art is overwhelming but hearing how you manage interests and being honest with yourself helps. Thank you ❤
The tagging and linking sounds a bit primitive, as if Obsidian is still unfinished. The video was a bit too long for my taste but the timestamps are helpful for quick review and jumping back to later if my memory fades. I would like to have the transcript read by a Conversational Reading Assistant that indexes the content with question-based conceptual indexing and places the categories of hyperlinked questions in my Conversational Reader overlay or a side menu. I like the related RU-vid links and timestamps. I wonder if question-based indexing of the timestamps would make the content more transparent without revealing it explicitly. I'm interested in this mostly from the viewpoint of a graphical search user interface for finding my notes and quote sources with a kind of syntopicon. I've been looking into Infranodus, Obsidian, Notion, TheBrain, Pearltrees, Padlet, James Burke's K-Web and chatGPT etc. The Conceptual Indexing of Conversational Hypertext (1994) by Richard E.

Amazon has a policy that every new idea / reason for a meeting must be written down in a 6 page max essay. The first 30 min of every single meeting at Amazon are spent reading that memo in silence. So yeah, this is important
@@odysseas__ now that you have mentioned it, whenever I quickly type my thoughts, I later have to rewrite it to make it concise and coherent. But still, touch typing is a good to have, specially being able to type without looking or even being aware of the keyboard
Yes! Thank you so much! This is the validation I needed so much and thank you so much for contextualizing it. Those first three things have been fantastic in reframing the way I live. It is how I've been doing things the past couple years and I'm so glad you've articulated it so well. The last thing I'll add is to revisit your prioritization at a regular interval and shuffle as necessary. I have my list in "buckets" - for example, physical things I want to become proficient at is one bucket and mental proficiencies is another. Then when I'm reprioritizing, it's so much easier for me to shuffle things in the same bucket and still feel like I'm making progress. So for example, my overall fitness bucket is some lofty goal of being good in my body. But I switch around the focus every couple months from running to weight training to a specific sport, etc. It makes thibgs so much funner and I still feel like im progressing while being me. Also, that third one - "If I cant avoid it, I might as well be good at it." <- that is the push I needed to tackle some shit I've been avoiding because it didn't directly align with what I wanted to do. Thank you so much!!
Ahh fudg. You've changed my life. You are very, very similar to me, except maybe the youtube version. That's the only reason I'm gonna kick myself in the asz and make my own schedule for the day. But it'll be reluctant!!!
Hi, I realize I don't know your name, I'm new in your channel. I've discovered you through the sidebar video recommendations, I believe your way to see the learning is beyond inspiring. I've been struggling a lot to put my thoughts in order, may you share the second brain app or software you're using? I normally use notion but that one on the vide looked like Prezi, therefore, it can be better for me. I'd appreciate it. Thank you in advance for putting your knowledge for free here.
This is one of the best, most helpful and therefore most memorable videos I’ve watched this month. You don’t clickbait, keep what you say to the necessary and none of these steps require or even suggest I pay money or similar things. Thank you! Keep up the good work
For further reading on this important life topic, I recommend "How to Be Better at (Almost) Everything" by Pat Flynn; one of the few books to make my exclusive list to read more than twice.
This is a great guide! What I find so strange is that as children we're actively encouraged to explore so many different possibilities and interests, and yet when we get to adulthood the opposite becomes true as the sole motivations becomes "become this one thing so you can contribute to society."
7:50 this is literally what I needed to hear, while realizing it now, it's kind of shocking that I'm still 17 and wants to do literally everything.. I have countless hobbies and things I still want to learn, that sometimes I just get exhausted from the amount of things I want to do and just do nothing because I don't know what to do. So thank you very very much <3 this is the perfect video for me.
Thank you for this. Made me realize the things I've been trying to ignore. I can't like a video multiple times so I'm just gonna comment in here as my second like. LOL edit: gonna edit it also as my third like coz two likes is just not enough. you know what, I'm gonna like my own comment as well for my fourth like.
Thanks a lot for what you're doing! There're a lot of channels about learning, managing hobbies, etc. But they lack fresh ideas and most importantly they lack soul. I'm really glad that I found you. You motivate me a lot and I introduced a bunch of your techniques and pieces of advice into my life. I really appreciate it! Could you please make a separate video for your time management 10:00 ? This is what especially interests me and probably many other poymath chaotic individuals who like to do stuff based on inspiration rather than on a plan and scheduled time. For me this chaotic approach still works (although I have a rough plan). But your approach seems more solid: it helps to see what you really CAN do without overestimating the resources, at the same time including a lot of activities into the schedule. I like it, and I'd really like to find a way to introduce the same workflow into my life without stressing too much about schedules and boundaries. Thanks! Out of topic. You're handsome :)
this is single handedly the greatest obsidian note taking video ever. had it been 10 minutes longer, it would have been the greatest note taking video ever.
