"What have the Roamans ever done for us?!?"

The 8 Civilization upgrades @RoamResearch might enable.

The Pythons were lightyears ahead of its time.

Thread 👇
1 / *The Acquaduct*

Roam allows for the cross-fertilization of ideas, enabling them to flow to new unconnected areas, where it can combine into new insights.

The best ideas occur when you combine multipe domains.

2/ *Sanitation*

Roam helps you to keep sane, and improve your focus, mindset and even fight anxiety.

Keeping an Interstitial Journal or doing Morning / Evening Pages is almost effortless in
@RoamResearch, essential to #knowthyself

3/ *Roads*

Roam helps you focus on your destination, and brainstorm the roads to get you there.

Doing weekly, monthly or quarterly check-ins on your Horizons, OKRs and Projects is easily scheduled and templatized.

4/ *Irrigation*

Roam's bidirectional linking and graph is extremely suitable to cultivate your Digital Garden, add to Evergreen notes and in general build a better Second Brain.

My writing inbox keeps growing.

5/ *Medicine*

By building clever hooks or iFTTT rules in Roam, you can write in a cold state what you *should* do when faced by anxiety, doubts etc.

I keep an "When x" iFTTT page in Roam, which I consult whenever I feel unfocused, anxious or tired.

6/ *Education*

I consider Roam to be a meta-education tool.

Curate insights diligently from Twitter, snippets from Readwise, and blend in Roam with your seedlings and evergreens.

Bonus: SRS for retention in your 1st Brain.

7/ *Wine*

OK, it takes a certain character, but you can get a real buzz from mixing ideas to form new ones, and relating these to your horizons & goals.

Block embedding an idea on a page and discovering you had a similar thought 2 days ago...bliss!

8/ *Public Baths*

Roam loves integrations, and is even more powerful when combined with the right tools and plugins.

Like @TextExpander for instant templates, or Eloquent for capturing ideas and send to Roam.

This thread was inspired by the many #Roamans and their original use of metaphors.


This Python sketch sprung to mind as the best metaphor to describe #Roam's potential.

Below is the original scene in all it's Pythonesque glory ▶️
