lady bird MarginNote3 is more like an analytical and syntopical reading tool. I wonder if there are any tag-support note taking apps besides Evernote and Bear
I am a new med student and found you recently. I really enjoy your videos and the ideas are REALLY helpful, thank you! I am a long-time follower of Thomas Frank & College Info Geek and wanted to give you props for the reference. Thanks for all you do!
I love the way you have integrated tech into our profession. It’s good for us and it’s good for the patients. I really like how you keep things straight and debunked what our lives are like with forgetting stuff and having to look it up. An iPad for sure makes that process much more professional. Thank you for your insight, ideas and videos. think I can speak for the medical community when I say that it is professionals like you that help our line of work evolve.
You're one of my inspirations. Thanks for all of your videos. They made me rethink some choices I've made and how I want to proceed with my life in the future. Conclusion: You're cool. Keep on creating
I always get inspired by your workflows! Your recommendations such as Notion are really helping me organize/prepare for my postgraduate studies in Industrial Medical Design later this year. Thank you, Ali!
Ali that’s a brilliant way of ensuring you get things done which at the end of the day is exactly what a good GTD system should look like. Thanks for explaining the security and privacy around what you do and the fact your management team are behind it is brilliant.
The only useful channel where I don’t need to 2x the speed of. Thanks for valuing our time by packing the video with information and dispensing with fillers .
It helps that you can watch someone reviewing and talking about a tech/software from other POV than all these "content creators" and "creative people". You get a real life usage and tips not "Oh you have 7,5sec improvement in the render time - you have to buy this stuff You will get ton more stuff done with it!" or "This is garbage because in geekbench it scored Y less than Z product".
I am prepping for an Indian exam called UPSC. Needs enormous amount of notes. Thanks to you- a 10.5 pro+pencil+notability+paper like Thanks for all you do!
Goodnotes 5 is the best notetaking app period. And thanks to ali abdaal for inspiring to buy an ipad. Its the most productive investment I've ever done.
Hey Ali, thanks for all the inspiration on how to be more productive! Could you maybe talk about the hygiene-aspects of using your devices in the hospital and at home? I‘m a doctor myself and have lately become aware how I use my Iphone on the ICU and in bed only a few hours apart .. 😱
Your tips with the productivity systems like the dash-plus are great. I specially loved the red box for blood work! We don’t use that method in my country. I would very much love to see more of those tiny tips and methods that you use!
How do u carry around the ipad in the hospital.. Isn't it difficult to keep it with you when you have to attend different patients... I mean when I go to icu, i find it very difficult to carry around even my phone..
I wouldn't think this would be a problem. If you'll notice, virtually any physician isn't very far from a clip board or a digital tablet. Besides which, as he spoke of logging into a computer and waiting for it to load up, this really is problematic. The tablet is instantly available, and syncing it with the hospital or system computer should be very easy at the end of the day.
I wish technology would be as compatible with hospitals and medlife in Peru as it is in your environment. Hope to be there soon. Thank you for this awesome content!
I wosh this also but in any other industry also. I mean many companies in sales/HoReCa/gastronomy/services are still very much against tech in their work environment besides standard computers and smartphones. They dont want to invest into making stuff done in cloud, remotely or with help of tablets etc. I guess many places are still waiting for a next generation of managers to take over decision making processes
Hey Ali, I’m an Architectural Designer in the process of getting his Architect’s License. I started Using the IPad for almost everything school related 9 years ago. When I graduated I carried the workflow into my Architecture Job. Altho my workflow evolved a bit since, when I started studying for my Architecture Registration Exams I started to go back to the methods I used in school. It wasn’t until a couple months ago that I discovered your channel, and I want to thank you for your vast library of app reviews, tips and workflow examples. Currently I’m at the point that I have an Ipad used exclusively for work which shares an iCloud account with my work computer, and a personal Ipad that shares a separate iCloud with my personal computer. My current Study workflow is been working pretty well but I’m missing one key feature. 1. Notion as a hub to keep all my important links to online study materials, spreadsheet of amount of hours studied / Content, study meetup calendar, etc... 2. Good Notes to keep all my books, documents and anything that I need to read or highlight. 3. Notability to take notes (handwritten or typed) - I use separate apps for reading and note taking to be able to use them simultaneously. 4. Quizlet for Flashcards. As of now I take screenshots of the books in Good Notes and use quizlet’s camera feature to make typed tex out of the scanned books. I’ve seen your video regarding copy pasting from books to flash cards, but I scan most of my books; My question is: Do you have any advice or video you can direct me to regarding Scanner apps that will scan a whole page and convert it into text, so that I can quickly copy paste from said page into quizlet instead of having to bring up the screenshot up for each new flash card? Tl;dr: method of turning scanned book pages into text format - To something like Pages or Ms Word - To copy and paste into Flash Cards. -Cheers!
Hey Ali, I’m a high school student who plans to study psychology later on. I go to a specialist high school almost 2 hours from my house, meaning i have to commute a LOT. With this in mind, which iPad would you recommend? I am thinking of getting the iPad mini, solely for the purpose of being able to study on my way to and from school, but would this small form factor be a hindrance in the classroom? Thanks for your time, also your channel is amazing!
Can you please make a video on how to manage different things.. Like studying, video editing, graphic designing, music etc.. Like, when im creating music, i feel like im more into it, than studying. Its like more obsession with one kinda work.. How to sort of balance all in a productive way P. S : I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS 😁
I’m not a doctor but I want to be a nurse, starting with LVN, and moving up. I don’t think we’re allowed to use our own devices for anything. However I like the idea of using it to study and keep up with things I need to be knowledgeable about. I currently have the 10.5 iPad pro with the first gen. pen. I’ve been using it to study, keep track of finances and eventually to video call my kids when I’m traveling. I can’t wait to upgrade to the new pen/model but I’m not sure which version will be most beneficial. I think probably for split screen which I use a lot the 12” version is better. I love your videos! I bought Notability because of you and it’s a game changer for organization on the iPad :)
Thank you for your brilliant videos. I am a nurse practitioner working in a busy neurosurgery practice and I’m working on improving our on-boarding system and I loved your bit on Keep Productive talking about Notion. I am thrilled because I feel like Notion would be incredible for this, as well as just taking over my current Evernote notebook for “neuro-everything” as a repository for random research and info that I come across. But when I open up Notion, I feel completely lost, like I need to go back to get a graduate degree in databases first. Would you consider doing a video on how you set up your Notion? More of a how-to rather than a show and tell? In particular, I like the outline of topics with embedded questions and then a hidden area where you answer the questions in order to incorporate active recall. I would love to see a brief video about setting that up. Over all, I have adored your channel and look forward to following along with you. Thank you!
This video is a pleasure to watch and also really usefull in order to become more efficient. I absolutely love your videos and especially the "hand writing animation" on the left at 1:37. Keep it up!
Hey ali, all love from the Philippines 🇵🇭! Since you’re such a big fan of the apple keyboard, how about put it up against the logitech slim folio pro! Would be quite interesting to see! Love your videos, keep it up! 😁
Doctor Ali you are very inspiring, you have changed the way I learn academically. Now considering buying an ipad pro cause of this video. However, have you experience any bending issue with the ipad? because I did a little research on ipad pro and worried about that. Thanks for the great contents, as always.
Hello Ali! In one of your videos you said a quote that I really liked but I forgot how it went. It was something like "is your family okay, is ... Isn't that enough? Looked through some of the videos but couldn't find it😅 could maybe say it ones more? Greets❤️
Ali Abdaal thank you very much Ali. At home it's sometimes difficult and your videos always help me to focus. I will print the quote with and put it above my bed. Thanks you legend ❤️
Not sure if the Uk follow the HIPPA laws, but here un the US that violates one of HIPAA Titles. Providers are required to use official clinic/hospital software to ensure patient confidentiality. That being said, that is a great system that can be utilized in other fields too.
Well as an IT admin for an education trust I was going to say this is a GDPR nightmare if this device is personal, until 3:04, still love ya content Ali !
i ended up buying a ipad pro 10.5 a while back thanks to you. gonna use it to start med school this fall. excited to see how my workflow changes. my PCP uses one in his office for documenting, but the lack of true mouse support (until ipad os 13) meant he has to type then tap the screen every time he needs to click the next box. cheers mate
I've just bought the ipad pro 128gb and im still hesitating if I should return it and buy the ipad air 4 256gb... I'm in med school so i will use it just for note taking, lectures, lots of books and pdfs... Should i stay with the pro 128gb (is enough?) or should I buy the Ipad air 4 256 gb?? The only thing that concerns me is the storage. Is 128gb enough for just medical school stuff or do I need more than that??
Hey Ali, I haven't been able to find a good video that shows the difference between iOS Anki and Android Anki. I'm a huge fan of Anki and I'm considering getting an iPad, but if it's as bad as the Android Anki then I probably won't get it.
Jesus Christ looking up stuff on Wikipedia for Tangiers and Wallenberg’s is soooooo freaking relatable. Thanks doc! Any tips for Clerkship? PS. I have an iPad Pro 11 and I’m planning on definitey taking it with me on the floors. Cheers!
