Sorry, I'm not sure what book you are referring to? The book I did mention is The Great Mental Models Volume 1, that one is here: geni.us/mental-models-1
Canvas would be great for this too, though you would lose the ability to link things via the Local Graph that way. But it would allow you to lay things out visually and is a great tool for working with ideas 👍🏻
That's right. I hope in the future there will be an update that fixes the issue of being able to fully view the graph with the included notes in a canvas. That would be awesome."
I appreciate a lot your videos; following you since I discovered bookworm a few years ago. question about the MoC you preseznt in this video (about habits): the structure is linear (the sequence of books you read). But your thoughts about habits is transformed each time you discover a new idea or book. The result is totally not sequential. My intuition is: we need another MoC that could be name MoT for map of (my) Thoughts where I would express my thoughts about the topic and updating it each time I discover sth new, but not in a linear sequence like in the MoC
A lot of times, my reading is informed by the ideas I’m struggling with (I pick a book because I feel it might have an answer for me). That probably contributes to what feels like a linear MOC, but I wouldn’t be opposed to adding things in the middle of what I currently have if it made sense there. The goal is just to work through things via creating an external output. Mine looks linear probably because I do a lot of writing, but the goal isn’t to have something polished to share. I do have some that are more just bits and pieces (like your Map of Thought concept), but those don’t make very good RU-vid videos 😂
This was a really helpful description of the purpose of the map of contents, than Nick Milo's introduction to Map of Contents idea, but kudos to him for coming up with the idea, and thanks to you for explaining it.
Outstanding video. You've managed to capture the true MOC value: a dyamic workbench or workspace. Not as a collection of links to other content, rather as a synthesis of the material and a workspace for that process. By the way, this shows the value of linking your thinking methodology as a model for note MAKING and Obsidian as a tool to use to do that work and capture the (ever changing) MOC content as it morphs into a very personalized and useful condensate of the ideas and knowledge one synthesizes from the source material (and attendant references to the detailed information).
Glad you liked it! Agree that LYT is great, went through it myself before I knew Nick and learned a ton. Nick is a good friend, and a really smart dude 🙂 Can't recommend Linking Your Thinking enough 👍🏼👍🏼
